When Quentin Tarantino's debut novel, was published earlier this summer, he gave his only UK broadcast interview to Front Row. Now in a special edition of the programme, Kirsty Lang presents an extended version of that interview.
For the subject of his new book, Tarantino turned to his last film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which looked at the Hollywood of the late 1960s, through the relationship between an actor, who fears his career is in decline, and his best friend, his stunt double. The result is a novelisation which harmonises with the story he told on the big screen.
In this interview, Tarantino discusses his long career as a filmmaker and his plans for the future.

Live at the BBC Proms: Retro-futurist rockers Public Service Broadcasting celebrate 100 glorious years of BBC Radio with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Jules Buckley.
Presented by Elizabeth Alker, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Public Service Broadcasting: This New Noise (BBC commission: world premiere)
Public Service Broadcasting BBC Symphony Orchestra Jules Buckley (conductor)
Archive footage, soundscapes, dancing astronauts and a flashing, blinking Sputnik right here in the Royal Albert Hall – when cult 'retro-futurists' Public Service Broadcasting brought The Race to Space to the Proms in 2019, it's safe to say that the results were out of this world. So in the year that the BBC celebrates a century of – well, public-service broadcasting – it makes perfect sense to invite them back with This New Noise: a joyously eclectic, album-length celebration of 100 years of BBC Radio, backed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and delivered with all the wit and showmanship of a band on an ongoing mission to 'teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future'.

Raymond Briggs began his career as an illustrator after studying art at the Slade School. He first achieved fame through his picture books for children, Father Christmas and Fungus the Bogeyman, but has since moved into the adult world with When the Wind Blows, in which an elderly couple struggle to survive a nuclear attack.
As he told Roy Plomley when they met to choose his eight records, he has now turned this most recent picture book into a stage play.

Kate Moss came to fame in the 1990s, and her distinctive look went on to embody the era of Cool Britannia. She has appeared on the cover of hundreds of magazines and starred in campaigns for many of the top fashion houses. She has made cameos on film and television and inspired artists including Lucian Freud, Tracey Emin and Marc Quinn.
Kate was born in Croydon in 1974. When she was 14, she was spotted at JFK airport by Sarah Doukas who signed her to her modelling agency. Two years later Kate was on the cover of the style magazine the Face – one of a series of photographs shot on Camber Sands by Corinne Day. The images were raw and natural and Kate's slight, delicate build, in stark contrast to the curvaceous supermodel silhouette that had defined the decade, heralded a new era in modelling.
Kate moved on to high profile campaigns for the designers Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs. In 1993 she appeared on the cover of British Vogue for the first time. Later her waif-like figure attracted criticism from some commentators who thought some of her photographs glamorised thinness.
In 2013 Kate received a Special Recognition award at the British Fashion Awards, acknowledging her 25-year contribution to fashion. Kate set up her own talent agency in 2016 and one of the agency's first signings was her daughter Lila.

Ahead of our OK Computer celebration on Friday, Steve repeats his 1997 interview with the whole band - Thom Yorke, brothers Jonny Greenwood and Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway. The interview was recorded the week of the album release - 25 years ago this week and the band discuss the humour in their record, their desire to go off in different creative directions without being wilfully obtuse, and to avoid being pigeon-holed as a band. They also reflect on the experience of working in different locations and with their former engineer Nigel Godrich, whose phrase sums up the album, specifically "it doesn't matter how we get there, so long as we get there."
