GAME GENOME: Deep Dive with Hideo Kojima
An educational program about the appeal of famous video games. A special 50-minute edition dives deep into "DEATH STRANDING" with its legendary creator Hideo Kojima discussing its development.

Many stayed at home, whereas others travelled early or late to avoid crowds. West End firms gripe about the loss of trade. With an eye on the faltering economy, even Mr Cameron has started urging people to return to the capital and eat and shop.
