BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, David Suchet, Michele Dotrice, Lachlan Goudie, Alexandra Burke, Editors and Philip Differ

David Suchet and Michele Dotrice discuss screening The Importance of Being Earnest live.

Writer and director Philip Differ talks about his one-man play MacBraveheart, plus David Suchet and Michele Dotrice discuss the cinema screening of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Comedy writer and director Philip Differ tells us about his one-man futuristic blend of historical drama and current political satire - MacBraveheart: The Other Scottish Play, and we'll hear a wee burst from it.

Alexandra Burke is currently performing as singer Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard at the Edinburgh Playhouse, so we give you another chance to hear her catch-up with Janice at this year's Proms in the Park.

Edi Stark sits down with Scottish artist Lachlan Goudie to talk about The Story of Scottish Art - a new four part series on BBC Two Scotland

Rock band Editors tell Janice about their fifth album In Dream, and the fall-outs, new starts and new adventures throughout their ten decades in the music business.

Edi Stark returns to catch up with Michele Dotrice and David Suchet about the one-night-only live cinema broadcast of The Importance of Being Earnest, in which they play Miss Prism and Lady Bracknell respectively.

We take a guided tour of Glasgow's music scene with The Janice Forsyth Show's reporter Nicola Meighan.

Janice turns the tables Ruth and Michael's Album Club, the website which invites guests such as Ian Rankin, Jo Caulfield and Al Murray to review an LP they've never heard before, by asking them to listen to Stealer's Wheel's self-titled album for the first time - and review it live on the show.

Our Single Of The Week is A New International with I'm your Kinda Guy and singer Biff Smith joins us on the phone.

And we have our regular Vinyl Verdict slot - this week it's a canny reference to The Importance of Being Earnest - Cat Stevens' Wild World versus Talking Heads - Wild Wild Life. Oscar Wilde - get it?
