The Crown, Jafar Panahi's No Bears, Jez Butterworth, Goldsmiths Prize

By BBC Radio 4

The Crown: as series five is with us, we review the next ten part instalment of Netflix's royal drama as it slips into more recent territory - the turmoil of the nineties. Plus jailed Iranian film director Jafar Panahi’s new metafiction No Bears, in which he plays himself, forced to direct online from a village near Iran’s Turkish border. With Kate Maltby and Larushka Ivan-Zadeh.

Jez Butterworth: the playwright and screenwriter on his new show Mammals starring James Corden, airing on Amazon Prime.

The Goldsmiths Prize: live from the ceremony, we hear from the winner of this year’s £10,000 reward for fiction that, “breaks the mould or extends the possibilities of the novel form.”

Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Sarah Johnson
