Cathy Macdonald talks to actress Shelley King about fighting racism and typecasting.

Cathy Macdonald talks to actress Shelley King from TV's Angels and Coronation Street about her battles against racism and typecasting.

Can religion provide the language to help make sense of the attacks in Paris? Cathy's joined by Vérène Nicolas, Quaker, Mediator and Trainer in Non Violent Communication, and by the Rev Prof David Fergusson and Mona Siddiqui of Edinburgh University.


Marking Prisoners Week with Tom Fox from the Scottish Prison Service, Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology & Social Work, at the University of Glasgow and Bruce, who has spent time in prison, and now works with Alcoholics Anonymous.


With Children in Need fresh in our minds, what role do heroes play in our lives? Cathy is joined by Virginia Moffatt from the religion think tank, Ekklesia, and Stephen Reicher, Professor of Social Psychology at the University of St Andrews.


And the actress Shelley King shares her Scottish silversmith ancestry. She had one of her earliest roles in the seminal TV series Angels and currently appears in Coronation Street, but her acting career was never straightforward, as she had to battle racism and typecasting.
