麻豆约拍

Melvin Burgess, who's been dubbed the Godfather of Young Adult fiction, talks about his new book The Lost Witch about a teenage girl who discovers she has magical powers.

A record-breaking 3.6 million people watched this year's Love Island final. That's more viewers than were watching 麻豆约拍 One, 麻豆约拍 Two or ITV in the same time slot. Journalist and critic Alix O'Neill discusses the show's cultural impact.

In Thursday's Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall Mil艔s Karadagl铆c will give the world premiere of Ink Dark Moon, a guitar concerto written for him by Joby Talbot. Mil艔s plays live in the Front Row studio, and the pair discuss the relationship between musician and composer. They consider, too, the range of a modern musician's work: Mil艔s has recorded classics beyond the classical repertoire - an album of tunes by The Beatles - and Joby writes ballet music, has composed an opera and arranged music for Tom Jones and The Divine Comedy.

Brian Friel's Translations is enjoying a sell-out run at the National Theatre; when it comes to an end Aristocrats will open at the Donmar Theatre. Philadelphia Here I Come!, Faith Healer, Dancing at Lughnasa - there is almost always a Friel play on somewhere. All of them are set in Ballybeg (which means 'small town' in Irish) and most are family dramas. Roy Foster, Professor of Irish history and literature, teases out why Friel's domestic dramas of Donegal hold such universal appeal.
