Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones star in The Company Men, a film about three employees forced to re-define their lives when corporate downsizing leaves them jobless. Larushka Ivan-Zadeh reviews. Roger Daltrey is returning to The Who's legendary 1969 rock opera Tommy for a one-off concert performance at the Albert Hall. He reflects on his changing voice, and the experience of performing without his band-mates. John reports on the fate of the Skylon, the symbol of the Festival of Britain, which was dismantled in 1952: after asking Front Row listeners for tip-offs, John follows a trail which leads to both salvage and scrap.
