Front Row - Simon Pegg; Kim Cattrall as Cleopatra

Kirsty Lang meets Simon Pegg, actor, comedian, screenwriter and producer, but also self-proclaimed nerd. Pegg grew up loving Star Trek and Star Wars, zombie films and computer games which he's now written about in his new memoir, Nerd Do Well, including his projects Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and what it felt like as a Star Trek fan to step onto the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, in the role of Scotty. Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall returns to the city of her birth to take to the stage as Cleopatra, directed by Janet Suzman. Antony and Cleopatra opened last night at the Liverpool Playhouse, and Charlotte Keatley was there for Front Row to review it. A new film Carlos follows the career of Venezuelan-born terrorist Carlos the Jackal, who was on the most-wanted list of international fugitives for many years, following bungled bombing attempts and a notorious 1975 raid on OPEC in Vienna, before his arrest in 1994. Peter Taylor, presenter of the TV series Age of Terror, reviews. The American poet Tracy K Smith has been selected by Germany's leading contemporary poet Hans Magnus Enzensberger to work with him for a year of individual mentoring as part of the 2010-2011 Rolex Mentor and ProtÃ(c)gÃ(c) scheme. The two poets discuss the chemistry of their mentor/mentee relationship. And as Tate Modern announces that due to Health & Safety issues they have had to prevent visitors from walking on the new Turbine Hall installation Sunflower Seeds by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, Kisty Lang wonders what this will mean for the sponsors, the artist and the gallery itself. Producer Jerome Weatherald.
