In 1975, at the height of their fame, British band Slade made a feature film, Slade in Flame. The film was a critical and commercial failure at the time, but has built up a cult following over the years. Now it's being re-released in cinemas and on DVD. Frontman Noddy Holder and film director Richard Loncraine spoke to Samira Ahmed in studio.

Samira talks with Irish actor Stephen Rae about his career working with Samuel Beckett, his hit film The Crying Game, and his current production of Krapp’s Last Tape
