Saturday Live - Vicky McClure
Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by Vicky McClure, star of Line of Duty and This Is England. Her latest role is in a new drama on bomb disposal, keeping us on the edge of our sofas.
We also have Helen Naylor who grew up believing that her mother had a chronic health condition that made her so exhausted she had to spend most of her time in bed. After her mother's death she found her diaries which told a different story.
Listener Liz Ashworth emailed us about her mission to keeping traditional Scottish food alive: she wrote cook books for bairns and joins us ahead of Burns night on Tuesday!
We also have Osman Yousefzada, the son of Pakistani-Afghan migrants who settled in Birmingham. As a child, he was able to inhabit his mother’s world where women gathered behind a curtain to sew and talk, separated from the men. Osman has became an artist himself, designing clothes for Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
Sir Kenneth Branagh gives us his inheritance tracks - he chooses Cyprus Avenue by Van Morrison and Rio by Michael Nesmith. and we have your Thank you.
Producer: Corinna Jones
