Janice is live from the Edinburgh Festival with John Hannah, Mark Steel and Stanley Odd.

Janice Forsyth talks to actor John Hannah about his return to the stage in Scotland, Mark Steel talks about his very personal stage show, and there is music from Stanley Odd.

Janice Forsyth is joined in the big blue tent at the BBC's pop up Edinburgh Festival venue at Potterrow by Hollywood actor John Hannah, who talks about performing on stage in Scotland for the first time in 25 years in little-known Bulgarian play The Titanic Orchestra.

Comedian and star of BBC Radio 4 and Have I Got News for You Mark Steel talks about returning to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival after 19 years with his show about uncovering his own background: Who Do I Think I Am?

Scottish alternative Hip Hop group Stanley Odd perform their own special brand of words, beats and tunes live.

Internationally renowned dramatist Jim Cartwright talks about Raz, his new one man show about a low paid new generation still living at home whilst living for the weekend, starring his son James Cartwright, who performs a live extract.

Next-generation a cappella group Gobsmacked! harmonise, beatbox and live loop a musical story about making it in the big city.

The cast of Doris, Dolly and the Dressing Room Divas bring a taste of the secrets, songs and love lives of five legendary divas from Scottish Fringe First winner Morag Fullarton, who joins Janice on the sofa.

Theatre, arts and music impressario Billy Differ reviews his selection of musicals and performances at the Edinburgh Festivals this year.
