TODAY’S RADIO

Saturday Breakfast With Dermot 8AM, RADIO 2

Tom Walker’s Leave A Light On has been a well-deserved hit, and is on his debut album, What A Time To Be Alive. Tom joins Dermot O’Leary in the studio this morning for music from that album. Members of the award-winning band Rudimental are also on the show to play tracks from their new album, Toast To Our Differences.

Graham Norton 10AM, RADIO 2

The comedy panel show Whose Line Is It Anyway? is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and former stalwarts Clive Anderson and Josie Lawrence join Graham to discuss the show, which had huge success on Channel 4 during the 1990s. Also in the studio will be the singer Sarah Brightman, alongside this year’s winner of the ITV talent show The X Factor.

Mary Queen Of Scots 2.30PM, RADIO 4

A film about Mary, Queen of Scots was abandoned in the 1950s as it was thought to be ‘disrespectful to royalty’. The film director Alexander Mackendrick wanted the story to follow the doomed queen from exile to execution. An attempt to make the film in the 1960s came to nothing – but now, the script has been adapted as a radio drama, with Glenda Jackson as the narrator and Ellie Bamber as Mary Stuart.

Sound Of Dance 3PM, RADIO 3

The earliest written accounts of flamenco dance and music go back to the 1770s; exponents and fans of this intensely emotional art form say flamenco’s roots go much deeper into the past than that. Katie Derham looks at the history of flamenco, both in Andalusia and beyond, and hears from dancer Samantha Quy and guitarist

Tito Heredia about the power and the darkness at the heart of flamenco. SUSAN JEFFREYS
