Giant puppets return to Liverpool; thriller writer Gerald Seymour (Harry's Game) on Irish politics; the two stars of Porgy and Bess; the South American artistry of Gego reviewed.

Also in the programme: thriller writer Gerald Seymour on the changing face of contemporary Irish politics; Rufus Bonds Jnr and Nicola Hughes on singing Porgy And Bess; and a review of the first solo exhibition of works by Gego - who has been described as the grandmother of Venezuelan contemporary art.
