Her most recent film is The Taste of Things, a French drama about a cook and the gourmet she works for, in which she stars opposite Benoît Magimel.
Juliette Binoche talks to John Wilson about an early moment of revelation, watching Peter Brookes' production of Alfred Jarry's play Ubu Roi at in Paris in 1977, which first made her realise she wanted to act. She explains the influence of her acting coach Véra Gregh, who helped her to understand the difference between "acting" and "being". She also recalls her experiences working with some of the most acclaimed film directors; Jean-Luc Godard on Hail Mary; Leos Carax on Les Amants du Pont-Neuf; Krzysztof Kieślowski on Three Colours: Blue; and Anthony Minghella on The English Patient.

BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 20th January 2024
Born George O'Dowd, Boy George shot to pop stardom in 1982 as frontman with the band Culture Club and later as a solo artist. With his soulful vocals and flamboyant, androgynous looks, he became a massive star around the world with hits such as Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? and Karma Chameleon. His personal struggles with drug addiction and a prison sentence in 2009 meant he was rarely far from tabloid headlines. In recent years he's been a judge on The Voice, survived the jungle in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, and has just published a new memoir called Karma. He continues to record and perform as a prolific solo singer songwriter.
George discusses the impact that David Bowie had on him as a teenager and recalls seeing him at the Lewisham Odeon during the Ziggy Stardust tour of 1973. He also talks about the important influence of club promoter Philip Sallon who introduced him to London's gay scene in the late 1970s. Meeting Quentin Crisp in New York with Andy Warhol was also a formative cultural moment. George talks to John Wilson candidly about coping with fame and rebuilding his life after addiction and prison.

GREAT LIVES - ALAN FREEMAN PICKED BY SIMON MAYO (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 23rd January 2024
In 1961 Alan 'Fluff' Freeman took over as the host of the BBC Radio's 'Pick of the Pops' and changed music broadcasting forever. From the opening "Greetings pop pickers" Alan would count down the hottest records of the week punctuating the end of each track with minimal detail before introducing the next. It was exhilarating radio and his staccato delivery and catchphrases of "Right, all right, stay bright" and "Not 'Arf" he influenced a generation of broadcasters.
Simon Mayo was a DJ at Radio 1 at the same time as 'Fluff' and says his broadcasting hero coming came into his studio and said "Simon, darling" before kissing the back of his own hand that he'd placed over Simon's mouth. Simon remembers the end of Fluff's time at Radio 1 and speaks openly about his own departure from the BBC in 2018. He tells Matthew Parris that it was Fluff's economy of words that impressed him when sometimes he'd simply say "and" to link two records, and how Freeman gave once gave him a notebook full of opera and classical music recommendations.
Behind-the-scenes Alan was generous, kind and encouraging, but he was also a deeply private man who few got to know well. But one person who did was producer Phil Swern who worked with Alan for many years.

ARCHIVE ON 4: STEVIE'S INNER VISIONS (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 3rd December 2023
Fifty years ago, Stevie Wonder released his finest masterpiece in a career full of them. Innervisions is regularly voted as one of the top ten LPs of all time, of any genre. Days after its release, Stevie - still just 23 years old - was on the promo tour in North Carolina. He sat in the passenger seat of a rental car listening to his new record on headphones when he drifted asleep. Suddenly the automobile collided with a truck, plunging Stevie into a coma.
This is the story of the day we almost lost Stevie, just at the moment when America – and the world - needed him most. It's also the account of how that iconic body of work, Innervisions, bridged Stevie's transition from child star to voice of the people, cementing his place as one the greatest of all time.
This Archive On 4 is told through Stevie's own words from the BBC vaults. It also features new interviews with musicians Corinne Bailey Rae, Jacob Collier, and Fred Hersch, as well as members of Stevie's Wonderlove band and crew, including his publicist Ira Tucker Jr, who spent days trying to bring his friend back to consciousness.

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 8th January 2024
In The First Time With... 6 Music's Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with major artists about the pivotal moments and songs that shaped their lives and their careers.
Today, Matt welcomes artist, musician and Frankie Goes To Hollywood frontman Holly Johnson to the programme. Holly shares his experience of the Liverpool music scene in the 80s, how he coped with being in one of the biggest and perhaps most controversial music outfits on the planet at the time and how 40 years of Frankie will be celebrated in 2024.
Following his time as bassist for the punk band, Big in Japan, Holly Johnson went on to be the lead vocalist for hugely successful Liverpool five-piece, Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Frankie Goes To Hollywood won multiple awards for their songs and albums including Two Tribes, Relax and Welcome to the Pleasuredome and were the second act in history to top the chart with their first three singles. Holly has since had success as a writer, with books including A Bone In My Flute, and as an artist. Frankie reformed last year for a long awaited live performance in Liverpool to celebrate the city hosting Eurovision.
