Richard Holloway talks to Booker-winning author John Banville.

Richard Holloway talks to Booker-winning author John Banville about his writing, his hours spent working rather than living, and his Catholicism.

Is it time to de-gender children's toys? We explore the impact of having gender specific toys on the development of a child with mum of 4, Andrea McKinnon, and Dr Sarah McGeown, Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the University of Edinburgh.

"My Nazi Legacy" is a moving film following three men travelling together across Europe - Niklas Frank and Horst von Wächter, are the sons of senior Nazi officers; the third is the international lawyer and author Philippe Sands - his own Jewish family was destroyed by the fathers of the two men he has come to know. We hear from Niklas Frank, and Richard talks to the film's director, David Evans.

In our occasional series, The Things That Matter, writer, academic and activist, Alastair McIntosh, tells Anna Magnusson about the Galgael Trust in Govan, which fosters art and community, and a special work of art in his home that comes from the Galgael workshop.

Mona Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies at the University of Edinburgh, discusses hospitality and care for the stranger in the sacred texts of Islam and other religions - the theme of her book, 'Hospitality in Islam: Welcoming in God's Name'.

Mona is joined by writer Chris Dolan to give their thoughts on a new BBC 4 series, Blood And Gold: The Making Of Spain With Simon Sebag Montefiore, which unlocks 2,000 years of Spanish history, with all its richness and colour and blood and guts.
