Comedian Karen Dunbar, playwright Gary McNair, actor Joe McFadden and novelist Michel Faber

Actor Joe McFadden on his role as King James VI of Scotland (1st of England) in the musical, Treason, that tells the story of the Gunpowder plot of 1605. Plus Tuesday Review.

Playwright Gary McNair is joined by comedian Karen Dunbar to chat about 'Nae Expectations', his gallus but faithful adaptation of the Dickens classic in which Karen takes on the role of Miss Havisham.

Actor Joe McFadden on his role as King James in 'Treason the Musical', with its world premiere taking place at the Festival Theatre on Wednesday. The musical exposes the real story behind the Gunpowder Plot which, contrary to popular belief, is not all about Guy Fawkes.

Acclaimed novelist Michael Faber, talks to Janice about his book 'Listen: On Music, Sound And Us' which asks the big questions 鈥榳hat is music for鈥� and 鈥榳hat is good taste or bad taste鈥�?

Our Tuesday Reviewers, journalist Paul Whitelaw and musician Be Charlotte share their thoughts on The Rolling Stones new album, Hackney Diamonds, the new series of Planet Earth III and political thriller and historical love story, 'Fellow Travellers'.
