SR: Institute of Sexology, What We Do in the Shadows, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, Robert Edric, Legacy 22 Nov 14




Saturday Review show

Summary: London's Wellcome Institute has a new exhibition entitled The Institute of Sexology which it describes as "a candid exploration of the most publicly discussed of private acts". How will our reviewers tiptoe gently around the explicit nature of what's on show? What We Do In The Shadows is a New Zealand vampire comedy film about a group of bloodsucking flatmates (a 'dracumentary' if you will). Who does the washing-up and vaccuuming in the house of the undead? Behind The Beautiful Forevers is David Hare's new play at the National Theatre, based on the non-fiction book by award winning author Katherine Boo. It deals with life death and hope in a Mumbai undercity. Robert Edric’s latest book explores the life of Branwell Bronte - brother of the more famous sisters. Legacy is a new Danish TV police programme. What is it about ‘Scandi Noir’™that keeps gripping UK audiences? Tom Sutcliffe is joined by Helen Lewis Pat Kane & Amanda Craig. Producer: Oliver Jones
