Suzi Quatro, Museum numbers, John Kani

Suzi Quatro on her new album No Control, which she wrote with her son. Plus, playwright and actor John Kani on his play set in post-apartheid South Africa.

Suzi Quatro was the first female bass player to become a rock star in the 1970s, with hits like Devil Gate Drive and Can the Can. Fifty-five years after her first performance, Suzi talks about her new album No Control which she wrote with her son.

Playwright and actor John Kani and director Janice Honeyman discuss John's new play for the RSC 鈥� Kunene and the King - which reflects on South Africa's post-apartheid history through the relationship of a dying white actor and his black nurse.

Britain's museums and galleries show an increase of nearly 9% in visitor numbers in the last year, with Tate Modern leap-frogging the British Museum for the top spot. Nicholas Cullinan of the National Portrait Gallery in London, and Gordon Rintoul of National Museums Scotland debate the importance of visitor numbers as they plan their future programmes.
