Iain Robertson on the West Highland Way, Courttia Newland and the biggest books of 2021.

Bafta-award winning actor, Iain Robertson talks about completing the gruelling 96-mile West Highland Way, a journey which has been made a tell-all video-diary airing on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland on Thursday.

Imagine a world where colonisation never happened… Janice talks to writer Courttia Newland about his new book A River Called Time which explores what it is to be human and what Africa’s global influence would have been had the world not exploited slavery.

Big Issue Books Editor Jane Graham and Marie Moser from The Edinburgh Book Shop look ahead to some of the biggest books of 2021, including new work from Scottish novelist Jenni Fagan and Paula Hawkins and Barack Obama’s second volume of memoirs.

Our Tuesday reviewers pick three cultural highlights from this week, including the entire series of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air which has just landed on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer, the debut novel The Push by Ashley Audrain, plus the second series of Staged, starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen.
