With Francine Stock. Francine meets Alejandro Jodorowsky, the cult director, mime artist and graphic artist, who was discovered by John Lennon and who once attempted to make a version of Dune in which Salvador Dali was paid one million dollars a minute to play a hyper-realistic robot. Animator Jason Stalman takes us behind the scenes of The Corpse Bride and Fantastic Mr Fox and reveals why he sometimes wants to strangle the puppets he works with. As the awards seasons begins in earnest with The Golden Globes on Sunday, industry experts Clare Binns, Tim Robey and Larushka Ivan-Zadeh run the rule over the front-runners.
