IT'S A CRIME! (OR A MYSTERY...)

Mark Lawson (on BBC's Front Row) talks to Kenneth Branagh about Ivanov and Wallander

Catch it here on BBC iplayer.  The episode is called "People of the Year, part 1".  Hear Branagh giggle and guffaw.  He also proclaims that he is a lover of "crime fiction and procedural dramas" and that "to have a chance to work in that genre was very pleasing".  Branagh loves to read and watch lots of them [crime fiction and procedural dramas].  And playing Wallander led to Branagh forgetting to have a shave...

Where Branagh fronts the programme, others follow.

BBC Radio Wales - Phil the Shelf

I missed it, but luckily I had an informant to remind me.  Phil Rickman's BBC Radio Wales programme has returned and you can hear it here on iplayer.  The first episode included John Harvey, Philip Kerr, Sebatian Faulks and Charlie Higson.

Keep listening!
