Grant Stott celebrates the return of the Fringe with comedian Mark Watson and hosts an Edinbrgh Derby, with two plays that have football at their centre.

Brendan Murphy tells Grant about his show Friend, which tells the story of the sitcom Friends from Gunther's point of view.

The Afternoon Show plays host to an Edinburgh Derby with two football related plays: Sweet F.A. which is staged at Hearts' stadium Tynecastle, and tells the story of the rise of women's football during the First World War; and 1902, which follows a group of young Hibs fans desperate to lay their hands on tickets for the 2016 Cup Final.

Grant also celebrates the return of the Fringe with comedian Mark Watson, who is delighted to be back, as are sketch group Just These Please. And there's music from Rory and the Island, who has a powerful story of resilience during the pandemic, turning online gigs into a huge opportunity.
