Leading ladies hog the limelight in this week's Film Programme with Matthew Sweet. Anne Hathaway talks about mastering a Yorkshire accent for her role as Emma in the celluloid version of David Nicholls' much loved book, One Day and Elena Anaya discusses the challenges of acting for Pedro Almodovar in his disturbing new feature, The Skin I Live In... a sort of cross between Frankenstein and Jane Eyre if you can imagine that! There's also the concluding part of Mark Gatiss' world of horror series. This week he's in India for the extraordinary Bollywood film, Mahal. And then last, but certainly by no means least - there's Jonathan Balcon - whose father Michael was the driving force behind Ealing Studios. Jonathan paints a picture of his father and reflects on the ethos which inspired films such as Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Lavender Hill Mob, two of the Ealing classics that have been re-released on DVD this summer. Producer: Zahid Warley.
