Janice talks to ROD STEWART about his new album Blood Red Roses ahead of his tour next year which is bringing him to Aberdeen and Glasgow, and his deep love for Scotland and Glasgow. He also talks poignantly about Billy Connolly, and the reflective moments he had in writing his album, including a song written from the perspective of a father whose daughter is abusing drugs, and he talks about being father to eight children. He also talks about the evolution of his career, from his time with The Faces when he wasn鈥檛 so keen on song-writing or studio recording, to now when those are two of his greatest passions.

Janice talks to Helen Fitzgerald the author of The Cry, the book adapted into the new primetime 主播大秀 One Sunday night drama series starring Jenna Coleman, and the executive producer of that series Claire Mundell, about adapting a novel for telly, and the excitement of producing a Scottish drama for network TV.
