BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, 11/12/2014

Actor Luke Evans discusses his role in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Luke Evans discusses his role in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, plus Stephen Carty and Graeme Virtue share their thoughts on the film and on historical drama Kon-Tiki.

Its film review day here in The Culture Studio and Janice Forsyth will be hearing from rising star, Luke Evans, who will discuss his role as 'Bard the Bowman' in The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies. 

Regular Critics, Stephen Carty and Graeme Virtue will also be on hand to share their thoughts on the film and on 'Kon Tiki' - a new dramatisation of Thor Heyerdahl's 4,300-mile voyage across the Pacific on a balsawood raft - a journey he made to prove that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in 'Pre-Columbian' times. (although most anthropologists now believe they did not.) 

They will also review 'Electricity' which charts the personal journey a young woman with epilepsy - a condition that that brings about in her, extraordinary hallucinations, as she searches for her long lost brother.

American writer, Glenn O Brien will also be in the Culture Studio to talk about a new book - 'Billy Name: The Silver Age: Black and White Photographs from Andy Warhol's Factory' - published by Reel Art Press.' 

All that and a discussion with Richard Kauffman who is the conductor of the RSNO's Christmas concert this year!
