John Kelly talks to Steve Coogan about his new film, Philomena in an extended interview including all the bits that we really wanted to show but couldn't.

The film tells the story of Philomena Lee, a retired nurse living in England who decides to look for a son she was forced to give up to adoption 50 years previously in Ireland. Coogan plays Martin Sixsmith, the ex-BBC journalist who got involved in her search and later wrote a book about it. Directed by Stephen Frears, the film also stars Judi Dench in the title role.
