Star of Gregory's Girl John Gordon Sinclair talks to Grant about his guest role as Chief Constable Alan Willis in the new series of Granite Harbour and great World Cup songs as he reacts to Justin Currie's praise of I Have a Dream. We hear from Joan Scott, another of the 32 finalists in this year's BBC Make a Difference Awards in Scotland, which celebrate those, like Joan, who make a positive difference in the lives of others and their communities. From the community award, Joan is the founder of Joan's Angels, a choir that visits care and nursing homes to bring joy to staff and residents, and which now has more than 65 members. Grant is joined by Jan Ravens from BBC Radio 4's Dead Ringers and Spitting Image ahead of her show at Fringe by the Sea in North Berwick. Judith Ralston joins us to talk about the five things that have shaped her. Wednesday is film, and her chosen film is Austin Powers. Grant takes another trip into the Afternoons archive, playing a series of clues that lead you to a particular year. The job of the listeners is to guess the year and tell us what they were doing in that year.
