Johnny McKnight, Deborah Masson and Strictly Come Dancing.

Iona Fyfe tells Janice about her new single and Johnny McKnight discusses a filmed, online pantomime version of Rapunzel. Plus all the gossip from Strictly Come Dancing.

On Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend it was semi-finals week and we’ll have a round-up plus all the backstage gossip from the presenter of the Official Strictly Podcast, Kim Winston. Which couples made it through to the finals next weekend?

As panto season kicks off in unusual fashion this year, Johnny McKnight, Scotland’s King of Panto, has co-written a new musical pantomime online version of the classic fairy-tale RAPUNZEL for the National Theatre of Scotland, which he also directs and appears in as Narrator (aka Paige Ootabook). It’s been filmed at the stunning Stirling Castle in a new partnership with Historic Environment Scotland and Johnny will join Janice to tell us more.

Folk singer Iona Fyfe will be talking about her beautiful new Scots version of the classic carol, In The Bleak Midwinter.

And Janice catches up with Deborah Masson, winner of the Bloody Scotland Debut Crime Writer Award back in the summer, who is about to publish novel number two, Out For Blood.
