BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Tony Hadley, George Alagiah and Tuesday Review

George Alagiah discusses his debut novel and Tony Hadley chats about his brand new single.

Former Spandau Ballet frontman Tony Hadley discusses his new single and the drive-in gigs he's doing in August. Plus reviews of this week's top TV shows and a new Bob Dylan album.

BBC News presenter George Alagiah tells Janice about his debut novel The Burning Land, set in South Africa and exploring themes of political activism, migration and the environment, and inspired by observations from his time as a Foreign Correspondent.

Former Spandau Ballet frontman Tony Hadley on his new single, and on taking part on a newly-announced series of gigs at drive-in venues across the country this August.

In Make a Difference, Bethany Thomas is a nursery teacher, who’s been working throughout the pandemic, but in her spare time she’s taken on a different role, teaching Zumba to her neighbours on the streets of Dundee! She tells Janice how it all came about.

As the coming weekend would have been the 50th Glastonbury Festival, the BBC is re-showing performances from the archives, including sets from Beyonce, the Stones and Elbow, so we’re replaying Kirsty Wark’s interview with Guy Garvey.

And in Tuesday Review critics Fiona Shepherd, Neil Cooper and Catherine Wilson give their verdict on BBC One’s revival of Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads, reality TV drama Make Me Famous and the new album from Bob Dylan - Rough and Rowdy Ways.
