BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, David Hayman, Phoebe Fox and River City Rewind

David Hayman on the history of Scottish slavery and Phoebe Fox discusses her latest drama.

Phoebe Fox on her role in new satirical drama about Catherine The Great, debut novelist Hazel Barkworth discusses her book Heatstroke and Janice finds out about River City Rewind.

Actor Phoebe Fox talks about The Great: An Occasionally True Story, where she stars alongside Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult in a satirical, comedic drama about the rise of Catherine the Great, written by Tony McNamara who was Oscar-nominated for the screenplay of The Favourite.

Debut novelist Hazel Barkworth talks about Heatstroke, currently gathering word of mouth buzz and set during a hot summer when a teenage girl goes missing.

Actor David Hayman presented and produced the two-part documentary Slavery: Scotland’s Hidden Shame, which is available once more on the iPlayer. He’s joined by Graham Campbell a veteran political campaigner and community activist and Glasgow's first African Caribbean Councillor, who took part in the documentary. 

We’ll be speaking to Asif Bashir from the Loanhead Post Office who, alongside his brother Adil, has been making a real difference to his community during the pandemic.

And we hear from actor Stephen Purdon and lead writer Ciara Conway about River City Rewind, a chance for fans of the continuing drama to revel in classic episodes while production has been halted.
