60. Who is Gatsby Randolph? The Mystery Man Who Infiltrated Hollywood

In the first episode of 2022, Ed and Charlotte set out to discover who the mystery man is taking Hollywood by storm.  They talk to Londoner Alexa Jago who has produced a BAFTA-nominated mockumentary about Gatsby Randolph’s astonishing rise to celebrity status. How did he do it? Find out by listening in to her and to Gatsby himself, all the way from LA. See the trailer on YouTube here. We chat to writer of epic historical blockbusters Kate Mosse about her eagerly anticipated latest novel The City of Tears, the second in The Burning Chamber series. It’s a gripping family saga set over 300 years and ranging from France to South Africa. Kate also tells us why women, from Hilary Mantel to Maggie O’Farrell, make such brilliant historical novelists. And we transport you to Compton Verney, a beautiful grand house in Capability Brown parkland in Warwickshire, which is staging a fabulous exhibition of portraits painted by people who took part in the Sky Arts Portrait of the Year series.  Expect to see a host of famous faces from Graham Norton to Michaela Cole.  Exhibition 19th February. Book here.
