Review: Wuthering Heights film and Jack Thorne's Lord of the Flies

Reviews of Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie, Jack Thorne's BBC adaptation of Lord of the Flies and James Meek's book Your Life Without Me.

Anne BrontΓ« biographer Samantha Ellis and writer Stephanie Merritt join Tom to discuss Emerald Fennell's racy adaptation of Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie.

They also review Adolescence co-writer Jack Thorne's BBC adaptation of William Golding's Lord of the Flies.

After a 35 year campaign, the South Bank Centre has secured Grade II listing. Former Artistic Director Jude Kelly and architecture historian Barnabas Calder talk about whether we're learning to love Brutalism.

Finally, Samantha, Stephanie and Tom have read James Meek's book Your Life Without Me, which is concerned with the competing claims of the old and the new, in both architecture and life.
