Alan Bissett, Gary McNair and Tuesday Review

Tuesday Reviewers Gayle Anderson, Vonny LeClerc and Graeme Virtue discuss Ridley Scott's Raised by Wolves, Lyceum Theatre’s Christmas Tales and Neil Brand’s The Sound of TV.

Writer Alan Bissett tells Janice about his first prose fiction in a decade, Lazy Susan, told in a Choose Your Own Adventure structure.

Playwright Gary McNair discusses the revival of his play A Gambler’s Guide to Dying, the story of a grandad who won a fortune betting on the 1966 World Cup and gambled it all on living to make the millennium. It was a hit at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe – it’s now been filmed for audiences at home.

Janice finds out about Ayr Gaiety’s virtual panto, The Scunner Who Stole Christmas, with writer Fraser Boyle and actor Ali Cleland, who plays Dourina, the Soorfaced Sorceress.

And in the Tuesday Review, Gayle Anderson, Vonny LeClerc and Graeme Virtue give their thoughts on Raised by Wolves, Ridley Scott’s sci-fi drama about androids bringing up human children. Plus the Lyceum Theatre’s Christmas Tales and Neil Brand’s The Sound of TV – a series exploring this history of television theme tunes.
