Cultural Capital episode 22: watch our weekly show on the best of London’s arts and culture

From saving the planet to singing One Love, we’ve got all the bases covered

Welcome to the new edition of Cultural Capital, the show where we pick our favourites of the week’s arts and culture in London.

This weekend is the start of COP26, the United Nations Climate Conference, being held in Glasgow. The issues set to be discussed couldn’t be more urgent, as laid out in our first stop this week, the Natural History Museum’s exhibition Our Broken Planet, which isn’t as doomy as it sounds.

With altogether more sunshine, we go behind the scenes at the West End hit of the moment, Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical, and talk to its stars Arinzé Kene and Gabrielle Brooks; our Thing of the Week is a bit of tourist tat from the British Museum, and I’m reviewing Netflix’s claustrophobic new drama about race and love, Passing, which stars Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga as two pale-skinned black women whose different approaches to getting through life in late-1920s America set them on a collision course.

Enjoy!
