The show also featured some live tracks from the festival recorded by BBC Radio 2, including 3 tracks from Georgie Fame, a track by Madeleine Peyroux and Jamie’s duet with Laura Mvula.

Presented by Twin B, ‘Gangs on Film’ delves into the grimy side of East London to look at the portrayal of gangs on TV and in films.

The ‘hood’ genre has been particularly popular in productions such as ‘Top Boy’, ‘Sket’ and ‘Anuvahood’ in recent years. In this programme, we explore the major themes of this genre such as drug culture, girl gangs, riots and football hooligans and ask whether these films give a realistic portrayal of gangs.

‘Gangs on Film’ features Plan B, Ashley Walters, Noel Clarke and Adam Deacon among others, and will be available to listen to until this Sunday, 7th April.

You can listen to the programme here >
