The Film Programme show

Summary: Veteran actor Martin Landau discusses his role as the wise - if sinister - science teacher in Tim Burton's retro-fable Frankenweenie. Author Michael Morpurgo reflects on the two very different screen treatments of his books, War Horse and Private Peaceful. We reveal the winner of the first Wellcome Trust Screenwriting Prize, intended to encourage more and better scripts about science. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the team behind Little Miss Sunshine, discuss their new film Ruby Sparks, about a novelist whose fictional creation comes to life.
