Interstellar; The Killing Fields; Sound of Harry Potter

Christopher Nolan talks about his new film Interstellar, the secrets of the sound magic of Harry Potter are revealed, and Lord Puttnam remembers The Killing Fields 30 years on.

Francine Stock hears from director Christopher Nolan about the tension between eco-conservatism and interplanetary pioneer spirit in his new space Blockbuster INTERSTELLAR. There's also the second part of a series featuring the sound effects experts - this time Randy Thom who added more than a little of himself to the spells and wand-craft of the Harry Potter series, and on the 30th anniversary of its release, Lord Puttnam talks about the enduring impact of THE KILLING FIELDS, particularly in Cambodia.
