Grant Stott looks back on the career of Simple Minds as a new biography of the band is published. Grant Stott talks to music journalist Graeme Thomson, the writer of the new book, as well as to the band's former manager, and Radio Scotland's own Billy Sloan, who has memories of the group's very first gig.

We bring you news of the Manipulate Festival which celebrates the best of international visual theatre, animation and puppetry.

And in our weekly Film Hour, critics Raisah Ahmed and Paul Gallagher discuss the new film from Spanish maestro Pedro Almodovar; Amulet, a new British horror which is the directorial debut of actress Romola Garai; and the starry animated family movie Sing 2.
