Gillian Taylforth - fares please?

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD BUS?
Former Eastender Gillian Taylforth is no stranger to omnibus editions, but her new drama coach is something of a departure. Powerhouse goes behind the scenes of her new ITV drama, Jane Hall's Big Bad Bus Ride.

THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Find out what happens on Powerhouse.

MY GALLERY
Coronation Street and Dinnerladies star Shobna Gulati plays curator in her very own, very personal gallery, dressing it with images and objects of great importance to her.

PUBLIC ART
As we've found out on Powerhouse, public art comes in all forms - sculpture, massive musical instruments, electric light shows, and, as Lemm Sissay reveals, even poetry written in stone.

THE ANTIQUE CLOTHES SHOW
Can charity shop clothes be the stuff of a designer collection? According to young Lancastrian designer, Mark Charlton, the answer is a resounding YES. In fact, Mark's designer Oxfam range is already very much in demand. But could he stage a catwalk extravaganza in just 12 hours, from first purchase to last stitch? That's the challenge we set him - to create The Antique Clothes Show.
