Comedian Chris Forbes is better known to many as Duncan AKA the other Murray brother, whose sketches with Judy Murray have tickled the nation. And thankfully they seem to have amused his fictional brothers too. Danielle Jam will be telling us what's the story in Balamory - she's joined the cast in the new series and is the nepobaby of the island, following in her dad's footsteps as village's latest resident inventor Ava Potts. From a sunny summer in London, to life as a Benedictine monk, Andrew Meehan's book Hey Man is all about a lifechanging friendship. The Light House is theatre-maker Alys William's touring play which wraps her experience supporting her suicidal partner in to a tale of love and play. Expect tears, and also a clown nose. Plus music from Cammy Barnes, whose musical career has taken him from bagpiping around world, to the stage of Britain's Got Talent, and sell-out solo shows. And Louisiana-born Ant Thomaz will be performing a track from his new album Gaia named after and inspired by his daughter. Presenter: Edith Bowman Producer: Caitlin Sneddon
