Julie Andrews' wonderful take on Jane Austen: the best podcasts of the week
"Who better to retell Jane Austen's most beloved story than her royal highness Julie Andrews? It may lack Colin Firth in a wet shirt, but the Hollywood great is a wonderful and faithful narrator of the original romcom classic about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. The series, which is broken down into 25 episodes, not only celebrates the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth it's Andrews's 90th birthday this year, too!"
"Such is the strain of building your own mega-home, Grand Designs is one of the few TV property shows where divorce is a feature rather than a bug. Kevin McCloud teams up with Greg James for this amiable offshoot for superfans and confesses that he has been close to opening up his own chequebook for cash-strapped contributors.
