Part 7: Song and dance (ft. Girish Shambu)

After a mid-season siesta, we're back with one of the most obviously pleasurable and accessible groupings of any episode of The Akerman Year: that's right, it's time for musicals. Girish Shambu is on with us to talk about the beguiling whatsit Les Années 80, the one-hour TV documentary One Day Pina Asked, and finally Akerman's long-in-the-making Golden Eighties. (Apologies for the blown-out sound on Simon's mic. Those responsible are above sacking but have received a strong reprimand.)
