Fireworks, Jay Rayner, Matt Baker and Nicola Singleton's Gardening Surgery.

On the phone-in: Do current restrictions on fireworks go far enough? Also on the show: Jay Rayner, Matt Baker and Nicola Singleton's Gardening Surgery.

PHONE IN: BONFIRE NIGHT 
This year’s Bonfire Night comes after the introduction of new regulations in June that limit the times people can purchase and let off fireworks. But some campaigners and senior vets are calling for a total ban on their sale. TV presenter Eammon Holmes has also called for tighter restrictions highlighting the distress they cause his rescue dog Maggie. 

Stephen asks: Do current restrictions on fireworks go far enough? 

ALSO ON THE SHOW:

JAY RAYNER
He thinks messy food is the tastiest, picnics are terrible, and clean white shirts are magnets for gravy stains. Do you agree with the world according to Jay Rayner? Find out as the once-feared, but now mellow, food critic joins us after 10.

GARDENING SURGERY 
We're bringing the spirit of COP26 right to your back yard as our Gardening surgery is packed to the brim with tips on how to make your plot not just eco-friendly, but eco-beneficial. And as ever, Nicola Singleton answers all your gardening queries - no question too small or too big. 

MATT BAKER
As Matt Baker's 11th Rickshaw Challenge nears Edinburgh we'll speak live to him from the saddle to hear how he and his crew of amazing young people are getting on in their quest to raise as much cash as possible for BBC Children In Need.

WHAT'S ON GUIDE
Your must-have guide to what's on across the country this weekend is on the way - including big bangs at Knockhill, beer and bears in West Calder, and thrills and spills at the circus.

HANDSHAKES
World leaders at COP this week favoured the 'forearm-bump' - but elsewhere there are signs that the handshake might be making a comeback! 

RED HAIR (TBC)
We hear from the casting director looking to recruit more red haired Scottish actors

BAD PARENTS CLUB
Our Bad Parents Club chew on brussels sprouts, throw caution to the wind with some 'risky play', and ask if the clocks going back has sent your children feral. All are welcome - none are judged. Come away in!
