Max Richter, Dazzle Ships, Dylan on film

Janice tunes into arts, culture and music across Scotland. Today she talks to composer Max Richter, and as Bob Dylan turns 75, she takes a look at the songwriter on film.

Janice talks to contemporary composer Max Richter, known for his mixing up of classical and popular music.

Actor Steven Robertson, best known for his roles as Sandy in Shetland and Dominic Rook in Being Human, picks out his favourite Shakespeare speech, from The Tempest.

During the First World War, ships were painted with patterns and colours to make them harder for enemy planes to follow. Today, in Edinburgh's Leith Docks, a gunmetal grey ship has been transformed into a brightly coloured masterpiece - Janice hears from the artists behind this modern-day Dazzle Ship.

On Bob Dylan's 75th birthday, film critic Pasquale Iannone celebrates the songwriter on film.

Plus the Tuesday Review: Pasquale Iannone, author Jenny Colgan, and actor Kirsty Miller review Russell T Davies TV version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream; the new album from The Monkees, and a touring production of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
