Moonrise Kingdom, Joanne Harris, artist Richard Wilson

Wes Anderson's new film Moonrise Kingdom, Chocolat novelist Joanne Harris on her new book Peaches for Monsieur le CurΓ©, and artist Richard Wilson on two ambitious new sculptures.

With Kirsty Lang.

Wes Anderson's new film Moonrise Kingdom is set in New England in the summer of 1965. Two 12 year olds fall in love and run away together into the wilderness, with a local search party out to find them. Natalie Haynes reviews the film which stars Bill Murray, Ed Norton, Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand.

Joanne Harris discusses her new novel Peaches for Monsieur le CurΓ©, which returns to the fictional French village of Lansquenet, first seen in her her best-seller Chocolat, which was also adapted into a feature film.

Richard Wilson, the installation artist, is best known for the work 20:50 - a room half-filled with highly-reflective sump oil. He reveals details of Slipstream, his new sculpture for the 2014 opening of the new Heathrow Terminal 2. Over 70 metres long and weighing 77 tons, the aluminium work will describe the shape carved through space by a stunt plane.

Producer Jerome Weatherald.
