The Lone Ranger; Conrad Shawcross; Gemma Chan; Edinburgh Fringe report
The verdict on Johnny Depp in The Lone Ranger, artist Conrad Shawcross creates a giant clock, news from this year's Edinburgh fringe and Gemma Chan's Cultural Exchange.
With Kirsty Lang.
In Johnny Depp's latest film, he plays Tonto, the loyal companion to the Lone Ranger, played by Armie Hammer. The masked hero and his Native American friend fought injustice together in the Wild West, in a popular American TV series of the 1950s - but will the 21st century cinema version of The Lone Ranger be as successful? Writer Matt Thorne gives his verdict.
Artist Conrad Shawcross has transformed the Roundhouse in London into a giant clock for his latest work Timepiece. However, it's a clock with a difference, as it has no face and incorporates a sun-dial which casts shadows on the floor of the performance venue.
With this year's Edinburgh Festival fringe now in full swing, Stephen Armstrong reports on the comedy which has caught his eye so far.
