Episode description

In the wake of President Trump's proposed film tariffs, Jake Kanter, International Investigations Editor at Deadline, discusses what the impact could be for the British film industry.

Last week Moorcroft became the latest heritage ceramic company to close its doors in Stoke-On-Trent. Emma Bridgewater, founder of the eponymous ceramics company, and Alasdair Brooks from Re-Form Heritage, discuss the decline of pottery in The Potteries.

A new genre-bending production of Hamlet created in collaboration with Thom Yorke from Radiohead has just opened at Factory International in Manchester. Co-directors Christine Jones and Steven Hoggett discuss their vision for Hamlet Hail to the Thief.

When it opened in 2000, The Lowry in Salford was one of the many beneficiaries of cultural infrastructure funding from the Millennium Commission. Twenty five years on, its CEO, Julia Fawcett, joins Front Row to discuss the significance of this national funding programme.

David Hockney and Vincent van Gogh have had the immersive art treatment. Now the National Portrait Gallery is using this approach for its collection in a new exhibition, Stories Brought To Life, that has just opened in MediaCity, Salford Quays. Art critic Laura Robertson gives her thoughts.
