Felicity Beckett talks to celebrated screenwriter Paul Laverty about his new film, Sorry We Missed You, directed by Ken Loach, in cinemas now.
Set in Newcastle, Ken Loach’s new tale of predicament is about a family struggling to get on the housing ladder. In the Loach tradition, it’s fierce, open and angry: a film about the real human cost of our economic development.
Ricky is a labourer, proud of never having been on the dole, and his wife, Abby, is a contract nurse and carer. Despite working longer and harder, they realise they will never have independence or their own home. As their debts increase and as Abby faces exploitative pressures at work, even for a strong, loving family, life is becoming toxic. So, when the app revolution offers Ricky a golden opportunity, it’s now or never.

Host Corrina Antrobus is joined by writer-director Shola Amoo and lead actor Sam Adewunmi to discuss their new film, The Last Tree.
Growing up with his doting foster mother in the rolling fields of rural Lincolnshire, Femi, a British boy of Nigerian heritage, enjoys a childhood as idyllic as the landscape around him. That is, until his birth mother reclaims him, uprooting him from the countryside and taking him back to a very different life in an inner-city London flat. Struggling with the unfamiliar culture and values of his new environment, and with the lack of emotional bond with his mother, Femi hardens himself to adapt and forges ahead in a brazen attempt to build his own identity. Dreamily tracing Femi’s journey through various stages of his life, The Last Tree is a tender, stirring and beautifully shot coming-of-age story with shades of Girldhood and Moonlight.

Sam Clements is joined by celebrated screenwriter Richard Curtis to talk about his new musical comedy film Yesterday, directed by Danny Boyle.
Aspiring singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) is struggling with his career. He’s just a man with big dreams and a guitar, loved and supported by his childhood best friend, Ellie (Lily James); and he’s far from famous. Until one day, during a mysterious global blackout, a car hits him and he comes round to find that nobody remembers The Beatles – apart from him! Feeling obliged to bring the legendary melodies of the Fab Four back to life, and with a little help from his steely American agent (Kate McKinnon), Jack rises to global stardom faster than you can say, ‘I believe in yesterday.’ But he may have taken on more than he can handle.

Sam Clements talks to Toy Story 4 producers Mark Nielsen and Jonas Rivera about Pixar Animation Studio's latest animated adventure.
It’s back – the jewel in Pixar’s crown and the story that changed cinema forever. The adventures of Woody, Buzz and the gang continue in another rollercoaster of a movie, which promises to pull on the heartstrings and tickle the funny bones of kids and grown-ups alike.
Woody (Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s prized but reluctant new toy, a disposable spork called Forky (Tony Hale), runs away during a family vacation, Woody and friends begin a quest to bring him back where he belongs. On their ensuing road-trip adventure alongside new faces and old friends, the charismatic pull-string cowboy learns just how big the world can be for a toy.
