About Time, a new film written and directed by Richard Curtis, is the story a 21 year old, played by Domhnall Gleeson, who is told by his father (Bill Nighy) that he has the ability to travel back in time and change events. He uses this ability to woo future girlfriend Mary, played by Rachel McAdams. Camilla Long reviews.

Former Education Secretary Baroness Estelle Morris and free school founder Toby Young review.

As actor Dominic West makes a cameo appearance on the new album by British rappers Rizzle Kicks, David Quantick examines the tradition of using actors' voices on records, including songs featuring Stephen Fry, Brian Blessed and Sadie Frost.
