Novelist Samantha Shannon, an exhibition of work by Franki Raffles, and the Tuesday Review

Photographers David Eustace and Alan Dimmick discuss their exhibition, and Samantha Shannon talks about her third novel. Plus the Tuesday Review looks at TV series Mutiny.

Scottish photographers David Eustace and Alan Dimmick talk about their two part exhibition at the Stills Centre for Photography in Edinburgh. They have decades of experience between them, and will discuss the future of the art in Scotland. 
Samantha Shannon is in Edinburgh to launch her third novel in a seven part series. The Song Rising comes after the international best seller The Bone Season and its follow up The Mime Order. Bloomsbury's editor-in-chief said her first book was reminiscent of all three Bronte sisters sitting round a table creating an imaginary world. 
Paula Varjack turns her attention on how you survive or struggle financially as a performance artist. Show me the Money is an entertaining and interactive examination on how to survive as a professional artist. 
Nicola Meighan has gone back to the 80s for us. She took her family to the Auld Kirk Museum in Kirkintilloch to sample the decade through the music, videos, games and toys. 
Social documentary photographer and founder of the Zero Tolerance campaign, Franki Raffles died well before her time at the age of 39. Observing Women at Work: a showcase of work by Franki Raffles is the first major exhibition of her work since she died 23 years ago and has just opened at the Glasgow School of Art. GSA's exhibitions director Jenny Brownrigg and journalist Joyce McMillan talk about her work and the exhibition. 
And on Tuesday Review, critics Nicola Meighan, Pasquale Iannone and Paul English review: 
Mutiny, a new five-part survival series from Channel 4; The Patriots, Sana Krasikov's cold war novel, and the Magnetic Fields' 50 song memoir of composer Stephin Merritt's life.
