The creator of Channel 4 hit Friday Night Dinner, Robert Popper, discusses his noughties hit comedy book The Timewaster Letters Compendium, which is now being turned into an audiobook featuring the voices of Dawn French and Peter Serafinowicz.

Poly Styrene: I Am A Clich茅 is showing from this weekend at the Glasgow Film Festival. The death in 2011 of Poly Styrene, punk icon, X-Ray Spex frontwoman and the first woman of colour in the UK to helm a successful rock band, prompted her daughter Celeste Bell to make a film in which she journeys across the world and through her mother鈥檚 archive to reconcile their fraught relationship. Grant will be talking to Celeste and her fellow director Paul Sng.

Bobby Bluebell, Scottish guitarist, is the latest celebrity undertaking the challenge of our regular quiz feature, Getting To Know You.

In our Make a Difference slot Grant will hear from the NSPCC and Childline about the challenges to their work that have been thrown up by the ongoing pandemic.
