Elaine C. Smith discusses her role in Jack and the Beanstalk at the King’s in Glasgow

Grant Stott talks to Elaine C. Smith about her role in Panto this year; for the first time in over 30 years, a mighty beanstalk will burst out of Bath Street as Jack and the Beanstalk returns to the King’s in Glasgow! Fresh from their trip to Old Peking, Elaine C Smith and Johnny Mac will be back, swapping their magic carpet for Dame Trot’s farm to follow Jack and his family and climb a beanstalk of gigantic proportions to Cloudland – we’ll hear all about it!

Grant will also have a special ‘on location’ report looking at ‘Artists At Work’ in Scotland…

Mancunian Film-maker Charlie Lightening will be on hand to discuss working with British legend Liam Gallagher on his documentary Liam Gallagher: As it Was.

And he’ll hear about Netflix’s ‘Dolomite Is My Name’ – featuring the long-awaited return of the comic force that is Eddie Murphy to a major movie role.

All that and some great books we ‘come back to’ each Christmas with three guests - who are also writers who have won Scottish awards this year - Claire Askew, Alan Windram, Janette Ayachi
