Janice talks to producer Jane Merkin about Suitcase, a play about the Kindertransport.

Janice marks the Remembrance by talking to producer Jane Merkin about Suitcase, a play about the wartime Kindertransport, ahead of its opening in Glasgow.

Janice marks Remembrance with a highly original play coming to a train station near you. 'Suitcase' marks the 75th anniversary of the first arrival of the Kindertransport in Britain and creator Jane Merkin talks to Janice ahead of the opening performance at Glasgow's Central Station.

Anthropologist, archaeologist and author of The Poppy, Nicholas Saunders tells Janice about the cultural significance of the flower from Ancient Egypt, to Flanders fields to Afghanistan.

And we look ahead to 'Stars on Parade', an extravaganza taking place at a Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall on Monday night. Director James Patterson tells Janice about the performances from service men and women, past and present plus the West End and Broadway names gracing the stage for Remembrance charities.

Glasgow's Templeton Carpet Museum threw open its doors on Saturday and we treat you to a walk-around and everyone's favourite art critic, Anne Ellis tells us some of the stories behind the magnificent building and its previous incarnation.

Comedy man-of-the-moment, Hal Cruttenden takes a breather with Janice during his massive 50 date UK tour of Tough Luvvie.

Professional Lego builder, Warren Elsmore joins Janice to talk about his exhibition Brick City running at Paisley Museum.
