This week in the podcast we talk to Jack Murphy, the man who taught Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend to waltz as Victoria and Albert in the new British film The Young Victoria. And, in our second of three visits to BBC Showcase 2009 in Brighton, Suranne Jones talks about her recent role in ITV1 drama series Unforgiven, her theatre work and the possibility of American TV jobs.

Hi Chris,
It was called "Spread a Little Happiness", a six part series by John Godber and Jane Thornton.
It's no longer available on iPlayer, but the programme page for the whole series is http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00knp5l and any future broadcasts will get flagged up on there.
