Photographer Martin Parr, Filmmaker Mark Cousins, Brendan O'Carroll, and Tuesday Review.

Photographer Martin Parr on snapping Blur's album cover, Filmmaker Mark Cousins on his new film, Comedian Brendan O'Carroll is taking Mrs Brown on the road, and Tuesday Review.

Mammy, aka Brendan O’Carroll, talks to Janice about the revival of the play Mrs Brown Rides Again. The play will be touring to Glasgow and Edinburgh ahead of a return of Mrs. Brown’s Boys to BBC One & BBC iPlayer for a new mini-series later in the year.

British photographer Martin Parr, known for his shots exploring our age of leisure, consumption and communication, talks about the use of an image of his on the cover of the new Blur album, plus his current exhibition in Glasgow at Pollok House.

Award-winning director Mark Cousins discusses his brilliant new film about the work of Alfred Hitchcock, in which Hitch tells his own story, voiced by Alistair McGowan. 

For Tuesday Review, reviewers Jenny Niven and Paul Laird look at a new drama about the early life of Elizabeth the First, the second series of multiple Emmy nominated American drama series The Bear, and the new Blur album.
