Neil Gaiman tells Janice about his new graphic novel and we review the big films.

Neil Gaiman tells Janice about the new graphic novel he'll be reading in Edinburgh with a string quartet. Plus a preview of Glasgow Comic Con and film reviews.

Neil Gaiman is a prolific writer of novels, comic books, graphic novels and much more. His new book, a collaboration with artist Eddie Campbell, is a tale of revenge set in a mythical Scotland. It's called The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains and on Sunday he'll be reading it in Edinburgh along with a string quartet. Neil joins Janice to give us a taste.

Glasgow Comic Con is four years old and rapidly becoming a must-go event for lovers of comics and graphic novels. Producer and artist, Sha Nazir, joins comic fan Graeme Virtue to look forward to this weekend's events.

We review this week's big films with our razor-toothed critics Nigel Floyd and Eddie Harrison. Will Melissa McCarthy score with Tammy? Does The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window and Disappeared have enough life in it to become a hit? Or will the Beatles triumph over both with the 50th anniversary release of A Hard Day's Night?

And we take a visit to the Scottish Screen Archive to find out about their fascinating collection of films from some of the country's film clubs and amateur film-makers.

All that and some great music.
