Dame Helen Mirren talks about starring in the film The Duke alongside Jim Broadbent and Dr Hilary Jones opens the surgery.

Dame Helen Mirren talks about starring in the film The Duke. It's a comedy set in 1961 and is based on the true story of 60-year old Kempton Bunton, played by Jim Broadbent, who stole a portrait of the Duke Of Wellington from London’s National Gallery, and then sent ransom notes claiming he’d only release the painting if the government spent more cash on caring for the elderly.

Dr Hilary Jones opens the surgery, plus there's Factoids, Non-Stop Oldies and the latest entertainment and lifestyle news.
