This week Jason Solomons meets British character actor Johnny Harris, fresh from This is England 86 and currently starring with Noel Clarke in new comedy Huge. Johnny talks to Jason about his role as a budding comedian and what it was like to perform alongside the UK's stand-up royalty, from Jo Brand to Eddie Izzard.
Irish director Juanita Wilson chose a deeply disturbing subject for her directorial debut, As If I'm Not There. The film tells the tale of a school teacher from Sarajevo caught up in the breakdown of the former Yugoslavia. Jason discusses Juanita's connection with this particular story and discovering a powerful young acting talent in her star, Natasa Petrovic.
Peter Bradshaw joins Jason to review some of this week's other releases including Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks finding love in Larry Crowne and The Conspirator.
