Summary
As contemporary art venue, The Light, prepares to open in Durham, its artistic director Tony Guillan, and the art critic Louisa Buck, discuss the new building and its opening exhibition, Victory Over the Sun: Encounters with Light. Comedian Iain Stirling is known to many for narrating Love Island. He's stepped out from behind the scenes to front new reality tv show Race Against The Tide where participants compete against each other and the shoreline to create sandcastle art. As her latest novel, Little Spark, is published, novelist Jess Kidd explains the appeal of the Victorian century. Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu
