Mark Gatiss on A Ghost Story for Christmas: Lot No. 249

Michelle McManus hears from the stars of two of this year鈥檚 big Christmas telly hits, including Mark Gatiss on A Ghost Story for Christmas: Lot No. 249. Plus artist Craig Black.

Michelle McManus speaks with Kathryn Howden - known by many as Maggie McLean from River City - who stars in one of this year鈥檚 big Christmas telly hits: an exciting new adaptation of Agatha Christie鈥檚 Murder Is Easy.

Mark Gatiss tells The Afternoon Show's Paul English about A Ghost Story for Christmas: Lot No. 249, which he adapted from a Gothic horror short story by Arthur Conan Doyle as well as starred in alongside Kit Harington and Freddie Fox.

Paul also speaks with footballer-turned-artist Craig Black about how he鈥檚 turning footballs into works of art.

Michelle gets insight from Cinderella's oft-forgotten Ugly Sister as Cumbernauld Theatre stages Ugly! A Cinderella Story.

Plus, two of our critics give their verdict on Taika Waititi鈥檚 new film, Next Goal Wins, which tells the ultimate underdog story of how the infamously terrible American Samoa football team rose from the ashes with the assistance of a new manager, played by Michael Fassbender.
