³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

A new ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ series ‘Rose Ayling-Ellis: Old Hands, New Tricks’ explores what happens when you teach British Sign Language to care home residents with hearing loss, and the impact it has on reducing their feelings of isolation. Matthew Fenlon from Deaf Action Scotland gives us his thoughts on the programme from his personal experiences of being born deaf and growing up with BSL as his first language.

Night is a time of mystery, creativity and for many, hard work. In ‘Overnight - Journeys, Conversations and Stories After Dark’ acclaimed writer Dan Richards takes us on a journey through the world after dark— meeting night workers, exploring nocturnal wildlife, and uncovering the hidden rhythms of sleepless hours.

Delving into recent news stories and looking at them through a more ethical lens, Tony is joined by the Very Rev Dr Lorna Hood, former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland; Aman de Sondy, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at University College, Cork; and anthropologist and psychotherapist Salma Siddique.
