BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Paul English speaks with Big Country, Bertie Carvel from The Crown, Neil Forsyth on Bob Servant, and Cinders!

Big Country, Bertie Carvel from The Crown, Neil Forsyth on Bob Servant, and Cinders!

Paul English marks 40 years of Big Country, and chats with Bob Servant creator Neil Forsyth. Plus interviews with The Crown's stars, including Bertie Carvel, who plays Tony Blair.

Paul English is joined by Mark Brzezicki, drummer of Dunfermline icons Big Country, who are celebrating 40 years since the release of their hit debut album The Crossing.

Global cultural phenomenon The Crown's final episodes were released yesterday. Film and TV critic Siobhan Synnot interviews some of the show's stars including Bertie Carvel, who plays Tony Blair. She also speaks with the newest members of The Crown's cast: Meg Bellamy, Ed McVey, and Luther Ford, who play Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince Harry in their breakout roles. 

Paul is joined by Neil Forsyth, writer of hit BBC series Guilt, and creator of the comedy sensation Bob Servant. As Dundee’s third most successful cheeseburger van owner gets ready to retire, Neil speaks about the new two part Radio 4 series Bob Servant Says Cheerio.

Scottish Ballet's playful new production of Cinders! will have a surprise each night for audiences as the curtain rises: on some nights, Cinders will be a woman, swept off her feet by her Prince, and on others, Cinders will be a man, swept off his feet by his Princess! They tell Paul all about the world first production.
