PART ONE: Is it still ok to listen to Michael Jackson?

Michael Jackson is perhaps the biggest pop star there鈥檚 ever been. He鈥檚 still thought of as a legend, despite years of allegations regarding his relationships with young boys. Jackson was found not guilty at a court case in 2005, but now one of the men who testified in Jackson鈥檚 defence in that case has appeared in a documentary to say, alongside another man, that the singer did regularly sexually abuse him. Michael Jackson鈥檚 family has rejected the claims and say there is "not one piece of evidence" to back up the allegations. But at a time when we tend to more easily believe victims, might Michael Jackson鈥檚 music now be off-limits? Dan Reed, the director of 鈥淟eaving Neverland鈥� talks to us alongside the 麻豆约拍鈥檚 Peter Bowes, and Scott Bryan from the Must Watch podcast.

PART TWO: Should the James Bulger story win an Oscar?

Now a new short film has been made and nominated for an Oscar. 鈥楧etainment鈥� uses the original police interviews with the boys as a basis for the drama. It鈥檚 causing a lot of controversy as the family weren鈥檛 consulted and now want people to boycott it. We hear about the original trial from Winfred Robinson, who covered the story for the 麻豆约拍, and Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson, who has seen the Oscar-nominated film.
