Janice Forsyth tunes into arts, culture and music across Scotland with Dave Johns, star of Ken Loach's I Daniel Blake, and live music from Edinburgh legends Dirty Harry.

The Janice Forsyth Show's Thursday offering at the BBC Blue Tent promises to brighten up your afternoon whether you're in the audience or listening on the radio. 

Janice will hear from the celebrated stage and screen actor Dave Johns, who will be on hand to discuss his new comedy show inspired by playing the lead in Ken Loach's award-winning social drama, I Daniel Blake. 

She'll also hear from the brilliant Grant Stott, back on the Fringe with new play Double Feature. 

Local legends Dirty Harry will provide uplifting musical accompaniment to the proceedings, paying homage to everyone's favourite rock goddess, Debbie Harry. 

We'll have our usual weekly movie reviews, brilliant, anarchic and surreal comedy from Mark Forward, and author Marcel Theroux discusses his new book. 

All that plus music from the incomparable Leo Helm and jaw dropping rock 'n' roll stories from Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt.
