Lives Well Lived

Kirsty Wark presents the first of two programmes celebrating some of the actors, broadcasters, literary giants and sporting greats who died this year. She begins by looking at the long film and stage career of Maggie Smith, speaking to colleagues Frances de la Tour, Charles Dance and Alex Jennings. Sven-Goran Eriksson is remembered by fellow England manager Roy Hodgson, novelist Anne Enright and Joan Bakewell pay tribute to the Irish writer Edna O'Brien, and colleagues of the radio DJ Steve Wright discuss what they learned from the broadcasting legend. There are also tributes to Ian Lavender and James Earl Jones.
