Poldark screenwriter Debbie Horsfield, 150 years of HG Wells, punk activist Joe Corré
Poldark screenwriter Debbie Horsfield, the contemporary appeal of HG Wells, punk activist and entrepreneur Joe Corre and Antarctic artist in residence Lucy Carty.
Will Aidan Turner take his shirt off again? Will his character escape conviction for murder and wrecking? As Poldark returns for a second series, screenwriter Debbie Horsfield answers those questions and explains how sometimes historical accuracy has to be abandoned to keep in the bodice ripping aspect that audiences love.
150 years since his birth, cultural historian Fern Riddell and sci-fi writer Simon Guerrier discuss the contemporary appeal of H.G. Wells and his impact on social reform.
Plus activist and fashion entrepreneur Joe Corré explains why he's planning a bonfire of punk memorabilia and Front Row meets Antarctic artist in residence Lucy Carty.
