## Resource

Robbie Collin and Sarah Crompton join Samira Ahmed to review: Rose Tremain’s new book, The Housekeeper, which imagines how Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel, Rebecca, came to be written. Queen at Sea, a film starring Juliette Binoche and Tom Courtenay, which takes on the moral quandaries that occur with care in the advanced stages of dementia, when someone has lost the ability to make critical decisions. Thelma & Louise the new musical which is playing at the Young Vic in London. And we’ll have an interview with Laura Beatty, a finalist in the BBC National Short Story Awards, for her story Two Minutes to Midnight. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Jonathan Blackwell
