Janice Forysth talks to comedian Isy Suttie about her debut novel

Janice Forsyth hears about Harry Birrell's films capturing Scotland in the 1950s, plus comedian Isy Suttie on her debut novel Jane is Trying

Writer and poet Daisy LaFarge tells Janice about her novel Paul, about a student who runs away from her troubles to rural France, only to find herself embroiled in an uncomfortable relationship with an older man.

Carina Birrell and Matt Pinder preview their BBC Scotland series Harry Birrell presents Films of Scotland, which uses footage filmed in the mid 20th century by Carina’s grandfather, avid amateur filmmaker Harry Birrell.

Comedian and actor Isy Suttie has written Jane is Trying, a novel centring on a woman who has spent her 30s trying for a baby, and is now hoping to start afresh.

And in the Tuesday Review, Jess Brough and Pasquale Iannone share their thoughts on M Night Shyalaman's new film Old, the third series of Have Your Heard George's Podcast? and US crime import The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah.  Plus a preview of the Fringe of Colour festival.
