Russell T Davies’ TV drama ‘It’s A Sin’ about the AIDS crisis during the 1980s is enjoying great reviews and Janice will be talking to one of its stars, Scottish actor David Carlyle who plays Glaswegian, Gregory Finch, affectionately known as Gloria.

Author and poet Salena Godden will be talking about her debut novel, ‘Mrs Death Misses Death’ which on the day of publication has also landed a film option with Idris Elba’s Production company.

‘Circling a Fox’ is a new TV documentary telling the story of actor, writer and producer Matthew Zajec’s father’s life in Poland during World War Two. The documentary has evolved from Matthew’s internationally acclaimed play, The Tailor of Inverness and Matthew will be talking to Janice about his father’s life and the hidden secrets he discovered after his father died.
