the five thirty show

Coming up

FRIDAY

It’s Friday, and we’ve got a great show to kick off your weekend. Singer Kiki Dee – who became a household name after singing with Elton John on the hit Don’t Got Breaking My Heart – is stopping by to tell us all about her current tour, Kiki Dee and Carmelo Luggeri.

Maw Broon is also on The Hour today, to talk about the Maw Broon Monologues, which is showing at The Tron in Glasgow as part of the Glasgay! celebrations.

Wine expert Tom Cannavan is back telling us which tipple to pick to go with meat and fish, we’re showing the second part of our feature on Scotland’s first giant puppet, and we’ll be giving advice on how to survive the current floods that are sweeping the country.

Our fantastic new game show, What’s on the Box also returns today.

It’s going to be great – tune in at 5pm!
