Screenwriter Jimmy McGovern, moral values we expect in leaders, and the impact of a hug.

Bafta award-winning screenwriter Jimmy McGovern, the moral values we expect in our leaders, and the beneficial impact of a good hug.

BAFTA award winning screenwriter and producer Jimmy McGovern discusses how his Catholic faith has influenced his work and the extent to which Robbie Coltrane’s character in Cracker was an autobiographical exploration.

We visit Carrongrange High in Grangemouth, a school for pupils with additional support needs, to meet the cast and crew of this year’s summer musical ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

As Conservative candidates for leadership set out their stalls, Cathy is joined by the journalist and Director of the religion and ethics think-tank Ekklesia Simon Barrow and Mona Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies at the University of Edinburgh, to discuss what society should know about the values, beliefs and standards of people taking leadership positions.

On the 10th anniversary of the Solas Festival, Simon Barrow from Ekklesia and Verene Nicolas, who is a community organiser in non-violent communication and conflict mediation, talk about this year’s line up and the festival’s themes of themes of equality and justice.

What’s in a hug? We consider the effect of physical human contact with Rebekka Mikkola, a practitioner and co-founder of Nordic Cuddles who specialises in cuddle therapy and Suzanne Zeedyk, a psychologist who researches early years’ experiences.
