With Mark Lawson.

The long-list for the Man Booker Prize for fiction is announced this afternoon. Chair of the judges Peter Stothard and actor Dan Stevens, a member of the panel, discuss their choices.

Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma is being staged at the National Theatre. Revolving around a doctor who must choose a limited number of patients to treat, the play echoes the present day 'postcode lottery' debates. Dr Sarah Jarvis reviews the play as well as the Wellcome Collection's new exhibition Superhuman, an exploration of how we have altered our bodies from false teeth to plastic surgery.

Director Fernando Meirelles and writer Peter Morgan discuss their film 360, a loose adaptation of La Ronde, with a cast including Jude Law, Rachel Weisz and Anthony Hopkins.

Producer Erin Riley.
