The Girl

Matthew Sweet examines the obsessive on and off-camera relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and leading lady Tippi Hedren as depicted in a new television drama, The Girl.

Night Waves boasts an all star cast this evening with Tarzan, Alfred Hitchcock and Alasdair Gray. Matthew Sweet will be holding the ring for a programme that celebrates the Ape Man's centenary, pores over The Girl, a new film about Hitch's vexed relationship with Tippi Hedren, and examines the compelling creations of Alasdair Gray - a man responsible for some of Scotland's most dazzling contemporary murals as well as novels and short stories that have won him an international reputation.

Producer: Zahid Warley.
