Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in HBO's Game Change
Mark Lawson reviews TV drama Game Change, starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris as John McCain, and interviews singer Richard Hawley and author Sven Lindqvist.
Julianne Moore and Ed Harris star in Game Change, HBO's television dramatisation of the 2008 Presidential Election. Moore plays Sarah Palin, the Alaskan governor plucked from relative obscurity to give Ed Harris' John McCain some much needed star power. Clare Short and Peter Hitchens review the programme.
Brit Award and Mercury Music Prize-nominated musician Richard Hawley first found success as a member of the Longpigs and later, Pulp. His subsequent solo music has been strongly influenced by his childhood in Sheffield but his latest album is a change of musical direction. Standing at the Sky's Edge is a psychedelic rock album that Hawley describes less black and white than previous material. He told Mark why it was time to focus on more intricate guitar playing.
As Swedish author Sven Lindqvist celebrates his 80th birthday, he explains why he thinks all his books are the same.
Producer Nicki Paxman.
