Dads on the silver screen

Saturday 14 June 2014. Howard Goodall takes a look at some of the great dads in the movies, ahead of Father's Day. Also the best soundtracks of 2014 so far.

To mark Father's Day tomorrow, Howard Goodall is dedicating the first hour of his show this week to dads on the big screen. 

From Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird to Darth Vader in Star Wars – with a bit of Mr. Incredible and Captain von Trapp thrown in for good measure – this will be a light-hearted look at the best fathers that the world of film has to offer.
