Olivia Colman in London Road
National Theatre
Olivia Colman is singing about begonias and petunias in the first clip from her new film, London Road.
An adaptation of the hit stage play, it documents the arrest of Steve Wright, an Ipswich man who was convicted of murdering five sex workers in 2008.
It uses real dialogue from the rural townsfolk whose lives were turned upside down when it was discovered a serial killer had been living in their community.
The film is on general release from 12 June.

Our friends over at the Radcliffe and Maconie show on BBC 6 Music have tweeted a game where you add a letter to an existing band name to create a new - and funnier - band name. For example, Fatboy Slim has become Fatboy Slime. Or our favourite, Iggy Poop.

John Thomson on The Fast Show
BBC
Just in from the "we're not making this up" desk: The Fast Show's "Jazz Club" host John Thomson is going to preside over this year's Jazz FM awards.
He'll be introducing Rebecca Ferguson, who's performing a selection of Billie Holiday songs to celebrate the centenary of her birth; and giving a lifetime achievement award to trumpeter Hugh Masekela.
Nice.
