BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Danny Boyle and reviews of Yesterday, Apollo 11 and Robert the Bruce

Yesterday, Apollo 11 and Robert the Bruce are the films under review this week.

Yesterday, Apollo 11 and Robert the Bruce are the films up for review, plus we hear from directors Danny Boyle and Todd Douglas Miller. We also look at Amelie the Musical.

On today’s film review hour Grant and our expert reviewers will be discussing Danny Boyle’s new film Yesterday, which depicts a world where The Beatles never existed, moon landings documentary Apollo 11, and Scottish historical drama Robert the Bruce. We’ll also have interviews with Danny Boyle himself and Apollo 11 director Todd Douglas Millar.

The stars of Amelie: The Musical, Audrey Brisson and Danny Mac stop by to talk about bringing Amelie’s ordinary/extra-ordinary Paris to the stage in the form of a musical.

And as the National Theatre in London prepares to stream its adaptation of Andrea Levy’s Orange Prize winning novel Small Island to cinema screens around the country, Grant talks to one of the principle actors, Falkirk-born Andrew Rothney, about his role in the production.
