BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Jackie Kay and Katie Dickie on Edwin Morgan at 100

The TV adaptation of Normal People plus Jackie Kay and Kate Dickie on Edwin Morgan at 100.

Jackie Kay and Kate Dickie on Edwin Morgan at 100. Sally Rooney's novel Normal People adapted for TV. Owen Duffy on the rise of the board game and ITV's reboot of Van der Valk.

Jackie Kay, Scots Makar, and actor Kate Dickie (recently seen in BBC One’s The Nest) join Janice as the Edwin Morgan 100 celebrations begin, on the centenary of the celebrated poet’s birth.

We look forward to BBC One’s adaptation of Sally Rooney’s best selling novel Normal People with one of the cast members, Sarah Greene (recently in Dublin Murders), which starts tonight.

As more and more of our arts, culture and entertainment move online, Janice is joined by tabletop games expert Owen Duffy to find out that there’s more to board games than just the most well-known ones. Today Owen will be giving us his top selection of games for two players.

And as hit 70’s detective drama Van der Valk is re-booted by ITV, starring Marc Warren in the lead role, broadcaster Graeme Virtue joins Janice to review the first episode as well as discuss the hit theme tune that was Number 1 for four weeks in 1973, selling over 1m physical copies.
