Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn on action movie Kingsman, Jasper Johns, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Short Story Award

Action movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Short Story Award shortlisted author Cynan Jones, Jasper Johns retrospective.

As spy spoof Kingsman: The Golden Circle is released in cinemas, we speak to its co-writers Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn, which Vaughn also directed and produced. A sequel to the original hit Kingsman: The Secret Service, Goldman and Vaughn discuss bringing back a character from the dead, convincing Elton John to be in the cast and the impact of Brexit on the British film industry.

Cynan Jones has been shortlisted for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Short Story Award with The Edge of the Shoal. The writer discusses his story of a canoeist who sets out to scatter his father's ashes at sea and gets lost during a storm. The story is broadcast on Radio 4 at 3.30pm on Tuesday and the winner of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ NSSA is announced on Front Row on 3 October.

TV critic Emma Bullimore considers the landscape of British television in light of last night's Emmy Awards.

The first comprehensive retrospective of the work of the American artist Jasper Johns in almost 40 years opens at the Royal Academy this week. The two curators of the exhibition, which features Johns's famous Flags series, look back over the artist's 60-year career.
