The Bridge
"We don't understand each other"- Denmark's Kim Bodnia on acting with his Swedish co-star.
As Scandinavian TV show The Bridge heads for a third season, its stars Sofia Helin and Kim Bodnia talk about the challenge of acting together when they speak different languages. Author Khaled Hosseini discusses his award-winning novel, The Kite Runner. As Bulgarians can finally work freely across Europe writers Miroslav Penkov and Kapka Kassabova introduce us to the literature of Bulgaria. Rita Ray reports on the allure of African music festivals and we hear about a new arts and culture festival in Pakistan's province of Sindh, inaugurated by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, son of Benazir Bhutto.
