Kirsty Lang talks to actors Dominic West and Clarke Peters about working together on the TV series The Wire and appearing in Othello in Sheffield.

Also Jocelyn Jee Esien discusses moving from comedy on TV, in her series Little Miss Jocelyn, to performing in the European premiere of Don Evans' stage comedy One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, which tours to Sheffield, London, Ipswich, Manchester and Leeds.

And we hear from a group of artists who came together when Britain was suffering widespread racial tensions in the 1980s. Claudette Johnson, Keith Piper and Marlene Smith remember the formation of the Blk Art Group, as the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield stages a retrospective.

Producer Ekene Akalawu.
