Rhod Gilbert, Museums in lockdown and Tuesday Review

BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Rhod Gilbert, Museums in lockdown and Tuesday Review

Rhod Gilbert, Kevin McKidd and Tuesday Review.

Rhod Gilbert chats about his new BBC series about being a carer, Kevin McKidd on recording a charity single and Shane Strachan pays tribute to fashion designer Bill Gibb.

Rhod Gilbert on his BBC2 series Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience – in which he took on the challenge of being a carer.  Filmed before the coronavirus crisis, he discovers how, even in more ordinary times, the work of carers is so valuable, if not always valued.

Janice hears about the challenges faced by Scotland’s smaller museums, with many of them concerned about whether they can keep going post lockdown. 
Two members of sketch group Just These Please talk about creating comedy in quarantine, and the inspirations for their viral sketches, including Lewis Capaldi parody The Banana Bread song.

Shane Strachan on his podcast The Bill Gibb Line paying tribute to the influential northeastern fashion designer.

Actor Kevin McKidd on being part of a group of musicians and actors who’ve recorded a song to raise money for the Trussell Trust, and his starring role in Gray’s Anatomy – the filming of which had to be cut short two episodes before the series was due to end.

And in Tuesday Review; Pasquale Iannone, Rose Ruane and Laura Waddell watch Hollywood, the latest Netflix drama from Ryan Murphy, following a group of minority actors during the Golden Age of Hollywood; The Eddy which is a new series from the director of La La Land, set in the jazz clubs of Paris, and Grayson’s Art Club which is Grayson Perry’s brand new Channel 4 show which encourages us all to find our artistic side.
