Logo for The New Radio 2 Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman - Claudia meets Ben Barnes, star of the Narnia films

Claudia speaks to Ben Barnes, who plays King Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Ben also stars in Birdsong in the West End in which he plays a World War One soldier. Performance poet Roger McGough has two specially written poems about Christmas to get us in the festive mood. Boyd Hilton reviews the season's best cultural TV, and Nick Duncalf has the film info, including his views on Burlesque, Tron: Legacy, and the forthcoming Christmas blockbusters. We look ahead to the 60th anniversary of The Archers with actor Graham Seed who plays Nigel Pargeter, and series editor Vanessa Whitburn who will talk us through mounting the celebrations. Singing star Camille O'Sullivan discusses bringing her smash hit Edinburgh Show 'Chameleon' to the Royal Festival Hall in London for one night only. We showcase the work of Liverpool-based arts organisation DADA, whose yearly festival has gone from being a one-off regional event to the world's leading disability and deaf arts celebration. Plus, there's the best of this year's guests on this, our last Radio 2 Arts Show of 2010.
