Stephen Frears is the director who brought us Prick Up You Ears, My Beautiful Laundrette, The Grifters, High Fidelity, Dangerous Liaisons and The Queen.

Now he's back with Tamara Drewe, a spiky and funny dramatic comedy that has Gemma Arterton as a modern minx who turns rural Dorset upside down.

Join Chris Murray and I as we talk with Stephen Frears about his inspirations, how he handles female characters and what he's doing next.

 

Think this pugilistic true story of boxing Bostonians Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund is gonna be an Oscar contender? So do we.

Join me, Chris Murray of Popcorn Taxi and Oscar Hillerstrom of the SCI-FI Channel as we discuss this awards-season heavyweight, which features wicked-good performances from Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo and Amy Adams.
