Charlotte Philby, Ian Bonhote and Peter Ettedgui

Author Charlotte Philby has created new sub-genre of feminist spy fiction, about young mothers torn between family and espionage. She discusses her latest novel A Double Life, recommends LA-set detective show Bosch but doesn't care so much for Killing Eve. Directors Ian Bonhote and Peter Ettedgui follow up their fashion doc McQueen with a savagely beautiful doc about the Paralympics and the extraordinary people competing in it - and creating it. Rising Phoenix redefines human perfection and personal achievement. Peter talks about the Netflix effect on docs, the work of Louis Malle and his love for Call My Agent while Ian shows off his Air Jordan collection and how Icarus gave them wings.
