Comedian Stewart Lee chats about his brand new stand-up show. Political journalist Robert Peston talks about his latest thriller. And we meet a Make a Difference nominee.

Comedian Stewart Lee brings his brand new stand-up show to Scotland this week. He tells us about how the show explores ageing, modern comedy and culture.
Political journalist Robert Peston talks about his latest thriller, The Kill Switch.

Actor and director Jason Connery joins Grant to reflect on the recent death of Sam Neill and remembers his contribution to film. In 2016, Jason directed Tommy's Honour, a historical drama film depicting the lives and careers of, and the complex relationship between, the pioneering Scottish golfing champions Old Tom Morris and his son Young Tom Morris, starring Sam Neill.

We speak to Still Game actor Gavin Mitchell, who is a judge for the Animal category on this year's Make a Difference Awards. He joins us alongside Amanda Harris, who tells us about her special friend Bowie, a scent-specific trailing search dog with Trossachs Search & Rescue.

Grant takes another trip into the Afternoons Archive, playing a series of clues that lead you to a particular year.
