Edi Stark sits in for Janice Forsyth and meets Stefanie Martini, who plays the young Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect 1973, a role made famous by Helen Mirren.

Prime Suspect 1973, which is broadcast tomorrow night, is the prequel to the series starring Helen Mirren. Stefanie Martini talks to us about playing the young Jane Tennison; sheâ€TMs joined by co-star Blake Harrison.

The monthly Book Group discusses I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, following an important BBC One Imagine documentary on Angelou last night. Author Louise Welsh and theatre-maker and artist Adura Onashile join Edi.

Former arts journalist Annalena McAfee discusses her new novel, Hame.

Twice winner of Scots Singer of the Year, Siobhan Miller, talks about Strata, her new album.

Sarah Cameron talks about her theatre piece The Red Chair, described as something between a Grimm's Tale, an absurdist ghost story and a parent's guide on how not to bring up children, all told in Scots dialect.

And, staying with theatre, If I Had a Girl is set during the festivities of an Asian-Scots wedding celebration and explores stories of honour-based violence within the community, inspired by real-life testimonies. Writer Mariem Omari and director Umar Ahmed discuss the production, which is on a national tour.
