With Antonia Quirke. Ron Howard talks about the challenges of making films about real people, and what it was like to act opposite John Wayne and discovering the secret of his famously laconic acting style. Film-maker Carol Morley makes the case for Muriel Box, Britain's most prolific female director and arguably most neglected. Artist and film-maker Andrew Kotting has to leave his studio after working there for 15 years. In that time, he has amassed a treasure trove of film props, paintings, costumes and memorabilia. It's not just going to be a huge removal job but a trawl through memories of films, friends, family and the departed.
