Simon Pegg's new film Paul, and Edna O'Brien
A review of the film Paul, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who meet an alien during a visit to the USA. Also, Irish writer Edna O'Brien and Mike Skinner of The Streets.
With Mark Lawson.
In the new film Paul, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost enjoy a close encounter with an alien during a visit to the USA. The film opens in British cinemas on Valentine's Day, as does the documentary Tantric Tourists, about a group of Americans seeking enlightenment in India. Front Row's reviewer is Ryan Gilbey.
Mike Skinner, creator, singer and producer of his one-man act The Streets, made his name with hits such as Fit But You Know It and Dry Your Eyes. He discusses his fifth and final album and life after ten years of the band.
Since her controversial first novel The Country Girls, which was banned in Ireland, author Edna O'Brien has written over 20 works of fiction. Now in her 80s, Edna O'Brien reflects on her new book Saints and Sinners, a collection of short stories which cover various aspects of life and longing both within and outside her original homeland.
Producer Jerome Weatherald.
