Billy Elliot, Victoria Hislop and Charlotte Church

Janice Forsyth talks to some of the cast of Billy Elliot as it begins its run in Edinburgh, plus Gary Lewis discusses TV's The Level and Victoria Hislop talks about her new novel.

Actor Gary Lewis, who played the dad in the film Billy Elliot, stars in TV drama The Level. And as Billy Elliot begins its run at the Edinburgh Playhouse, Janice talks to Martin Walsh, playing the dad in the musical version and Annette McLaughlin who plays Billy's dance teacher Mrs Wilkinson.

Bestselling author Victoria Hislop takes us to sunnier climes with her latest novel Cartes Postales from Greece and artist Katie Paterson tells us about the first book dedicated to her large scale and ambitious art projects.

Neu Reekie! Celts! is a late night party taking place at The National Museum of Scotland curated by poets Kevin Williamson and Michael Pederson and headlined by Charlotte Church who join us to tell us more about the daring multi-arts programme and we have our own live music from Liverpudlian Natalie McCool who is playing gigs in Edinburgh and Glasgow this week.
