M Night Shyamalan; Booker longlist; Gainsbourg biopic

With Mark Lawson. Film-maker and screenwriter M Night Shyamalan; Andrew Motion announces the Booker longlist; biopic Gainsbourg reviewed; an exhibition at Harewood House.

Mark Lawson talks to director and screenwriter M. Night Shyamalan about creating his first 3D film, The Last Airbender, based on a well-known cartoon series, and coping with bad reviews.

Andrew Motion, chair of the judges of this year's Man Booker Prize, announces the longlist of novels in contention for the prize and recalls months of intense reading.

A new biopic of Serge Gainsbourg, the celebrated French singer-songwriter, actor and director follows his life from his childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris to his success in the 1960s and his death in 1991. Writer and critic Sarah Dunant delivers her verdict.

Writer Joanne Harris (author of Chocolat) joins Mark to review Twenty One, an exhibition at Harewood House in Yorkshire. The exhibition celebrates the twenty-first birthday of the Terrace Gallery, a contemporary art space opened at Harewood in 1989. Twenty-one artists, writers, curators and performers have been asked to respond to the collections in the house and gardens, throwing new light on the objects and locations selected. Participating artists include Mark Wallinger, Neeta Madahar and Eleanor Moreton.

Producer Ella-mai Robey.
