A selection of talks from the Hay Festival 2017 (720p HD)
1. Tracey Emin
In a raw and honest interview, Tracey Emin explains just how important her art is to her: it is therapy. Interviewed at the Hay Festival by Dylan Jones, Emin covers growing up, early success, her hedonistic past, becoming friends with David Bowie and, now that she is in her fifties, her determination that her energy must go into one thing: her art.
2. Neil Gaiman and Stephen Fry
A celebration of the enduring tales and myths of Northern and Mediterranean Europe that ask, brutally and beautifully - what it means to be human. Gaiman's newly published Norse Mythology reaches back to the source stories that have inspired Tolkien, the Marvel comics and many others. His gods are irascible, visceral, playful, and passionate. The tales carry us from the beginning of everything, to Odin, Thor, Loki and Freya through to Ragnarok and the twilight of the gods. Fry is reimagining versions of the Greek myths with their contrary Olympian gods, tragic human heroes and ruinous family curses.
Artist Chris Riddell provides accompanying live illustrations of the session, and there is a surprise appearance by Amanda Palmer to read a poem by Neil Gaiman.
3. Stephen Fry
Tackling the internet as part of Hay's Reformations series, the writer and tech-geek reimagines Tim Berners-Lee's invention and asks how the mantra 'This is for Everyone' can play now in a digital sphere of social media, hacking and global connectivity. With BBC Click's Spencer Kelly.
4. Tom Daley
The Olympian diving star speaks candidly about his career, meeting his partner, the death of his father, photographing Kate Moss for his A-level exam - and keeping fit. He talks to the award-winning sports writer Carolyn Hitt.
5. Jane Austen - Theatre Lover Hollywood Screenwriter (no subs available)
A radical look at Jane Austen as you've never seen her - as a lover of farce, comic theatre and juvenilia. Paula Byrne celebrates Britain's favourite novelist 200 years after her death and also explores why her books make such awesome movies, from Pride and Prejudice to Clueless. In conversation with Hannah McInnes at the Hay Festival 2017.
