Mel & Sue on their new comedy show Hitmen

On Wednesday, Grant will be talking to the brilliant Scottish Author and Master satirist, JOHN NIVEN on the occasion of his 10th book; a typically, wickedly, outrageous, and scorching liberal revenge fantasy….

He will also be chatting to National Treasures MEL AND SUE about their new comedy show HITMEN…

He’ll be hosting a special discussion on the importance of maintaining ARTISTIC PURSUITS whilst the Coronavirus Outbreak continues.

He’ll be in conversation with JIMMY AKINGBOLA - one of the TV series KATE AND KOJI. Written by the brains behind OUTNUMBERED, ANDY HAMILTON AND GUY JENKIN…

And with a new series of MORTIMER & WHITEHOUSE: GONE FISHING in the pipeline, we’ve another chance to hear Grant chatting to the long-time friends about their book on it it all – also entitled GONE FISHING – it’s about the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having ‘a right daft laff with your mates’…especially when times are tough!

All that and the return of the mighty VALVES!

The Edinburgh music legends, behind the punk rock anthem, AIN’T NO SURF IN PORTOBELLO always regretted not having an LP, an ALBUM, like all the other bands of their time, and now - Finally, they’ve done it(!) and will be discussing it all!
