Front Row - 22/10/2008

Presented by Mark Lawson. TV documentary maker Jane Treays discusses her film which focuses on Kate, a successful interior designer and mother, and her troubled relationship with her 20-year-old daughter Hannah, who is addicted to heroin. Critic Jenny McCartney gives her verdict on the new Italian film Quiet Chaos, in which the Italian actor and director Nanni Moretti plays a business executive whose wife dies suddenly and leaves him to raise his daughter on his own. Mark talks to Gary Lightbody, the lead singer of Snow Patrol, the rock band that started out as Polar Bear at Dundee University 14 years ago and produced the best selling album Eyes Open in 2006. With the impending release of the fourth sequel to the original horror film Saw, David Quantick reflects on the films that proved to be a sequel too far, and ponders why so many classic films have so far proved to be sequel-proof.
