Ricky Ross discusses new musical play 'The Choir' which he co-wrote with Paul Higgins, about a group of strangers who come together to sing in a community choir.

And staying in a choral vein, Gareth Malone talks about his BBC Two series 'The Naked Choir' which charts his search for the nation's most entertaining amateur group, who can sing a capella without instruments or backing tracks - with the final happening tonight!

South Africa's leading female Film Director Sara Blecher drops by to talk about her involvement with Africa in Motion 2015 - Scotland's African Film Festival.

Janice finds out about a new permanent art installation 'Nomadic Boulders of John O Groats' inspired by the fierce tides in the Pentland Firth which shift huge boulders around on the seabed.

And on this week's Tuesday Review our critics Fiona Shepherd, Susan Morrison and Sophie Good give their views on: the second series of 'Detectorists' starring Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones, BBC Four's 'Girl in a Band: Tales from the Rock 'n' Roll Front Line' and writer David Mitchell's new book 'Slade House' which began on twitter.
