Janice welcomes comedian Bill Bailey to The Culture Studio for a chat as he nears the end of his Qualmpeddler tour.

Musical and comedic genius Bill Bailey joins Janice for a chat today as he nears the end of his Qualmpeddler tour. In the run up to the 50th anniversary of Dr Who this weekend, Graeme Virtue discusses the mini prequel episode, released last week, which features the moment Matt Smith and David Tennant's Doctors finally meet. We gain access to Barlinne Prison where some of the inmates have been learning the art of stand up. The Culture Studio's Christina McKay went along to find out how the prisoners got on at their first gig last week. Ex-policeman turned author R J Mitchell discusses his third DS Thoroughgood crime thriller - 'The Longest Shadow'. And we find out about a new exhibition at the Robert Burns birthplace museum - 'Savage and Tender'. Plus after the sad news yesterday that Nobel prize-winning author Doris Lessing has died, Alan Taylor discusses her life and work.
