Kate Bush, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne

"She's kind of an enigma" - Sir Elton John talking about Kate Bush

Belgian film-makers, the Dardenne Brothers, talk about their latest film, Two Days One Night.

Sir Elton John is among a host of musical names praising the extraordinary talent of singer songwriter Kate Bush, who performed again this week after more than 30 years out of the limelight.

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra return to the BBC Proms with their co-founder Daniel Barenboim, performing a new commission Ramal by Syrian-born composer Kareem Roustom.

Mad Men star John Hamm, who’s appearing in new film Million Dollar Arm, says he may swap Hollywood for Bollywood.

We interview Linda Kennedy on the progress of stand-up comedy in China.

Alan Little travels back to Sarajevo, where 20 years ago, writer/director Susan Sontag staged Waiting for Godot, in the middle of a siege.

And we head to New York where billboards, bus shelters even video screens at gyms are all showing great American pieces of art like Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, and Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. The scheme is called Art Everywhere, but not everyone is happy.
We also pay tribute to the veteran British actor and director Sir Richard Attenborough who died last week.
