With Antonia Quirke.

Novelist Naomi Alderman and screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz discuss the film adaptation of Alderman's debut novel Disobedience, a lesbian love story set in the orthodox Jewish community of Hendon. And Naomi reveals why she became an extra in her own movie.

The Star And Shadow cinema in Newcastle was a converted furniture showroom rebuilt entirely by volunteers who had little or no experience of bricklaying, drilling or grouting.The building took years to complete and was 15 months behind schedule, but is finally open. Antonia, who helped to drill some of the concrete floor, returns to the site to show one of her favourite movies to a local film club called Losing The Plot.
