Film reviews, The Mousetrap and celebrating thirty years of Elmer the elephant

Film reviews, Gwyneth Strong in The Mousetrap and we celebrate thirty years of Elmer the elephant.

Thursday is our film review day and today we’ll be discussing the new live action version of Disney classic Aladdin, the Elton John biopic Rocketman and witty high school comedy Booksmart.

As the Glasgow Film Festival comes to the end of its month of celebrations for its 80th birthday we speak to the cream of Scottish artistic talent about what the cinema means to them.

It’s 30 years since childhood favourite Elmer the patchwork elephant was published. We talk to author and illustrator David McKee.

Agatha Christie’s murder mystery The Mousetrap has started on a major national tour, which is coming to Edinburgh and Glasgow. We’ll be chatting to Only Fools And Horses Star Gwyneth Strong, who stars as Mrs Boyle.
