Nicola Meighan is back with everything you need to kick start your weekend, including Cirque du Soleil, a silent film festival and two extraordinary plays visiting Scotland

We’ll hear from Jo Whiley and her Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2 teammates Reverend Kate Bottley and Richie Anderson as they take on three triathlons in three cities over three days for Sport Relief.

Night of the Living Dead REMIX – two of the team from this ambitious theatre show tell Nicola about the challenges of remaking a classic zombie film shot for shot – live onstage!

Cirque du Soleil are in Glasgow with Crystal – a new circus show on ice. We send Paul English along for a report.

Powerful drama A Monster Calls is visiting Scotland hot off the back of rave reviews at London’s Old Vic Theatre. Local gal Kaye Brown chats to us about starring in the play.

Ahead of the Silent Film Festival, we hear the incredible history of Bo’ness Hippodrome in the words of staff and volunteers.

Roving reporter Cameron Angus Mackay is in Edinburgh where he heads underground on a dungeon walking tour.

Plus a perfect weekend from veteran broadcaster Euan McIlwraith.
