Kevin Spacey talks about his new film Baby Driver in which he plays Doc, the crime co-ordinator. Woody Allen admits that he may be good at making films, but that he’s a rubbish clarinet player in the company of experts. Others tend to think otherwise. He talks about his New Orleans jazz band of some 30 years’ standing as it takes on a European tour. Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell talk about the latest animation in the Despicable Me series. At their third outing together, those voices are becoming more manic. We visit a film set to watch the crew at work and discover just what a gaffer is or does, and why you should never jump the canteen queue in front of one. And American film star Jamie Foxx recalls offering accommodation to one ginger-haired unknown British singer songwriter who eventually became something of a global success. You can find out who by listening to The Arts Hour with Nikki Bedi who is joined by British Nigerian film maker John Giwa-Amu and Bollywood critic Anil Sinanan.
