Presenter Anita Rani talks about her memoir, The Right Sort of Girl, all about growing up as a second generation British Indian woman in the north of England.

Scottish BAFTA-winning documentary producer Stephen McGinty tells Grant about his book The Dive – the extraordinary untold story of the world’s deepest submarine rescue, soon to be turned into a film.

As part of the Cryptic free art festival taking place across Scotland, Mirry is an online event where Edinburgh-based Tom Fraser and his brother-in-law Simon Tong have created an album from old and found archive recordings of Tom’s great-aunt’s piano compositions from the 1950s. Grant will be finding out more.

Plus in our weekly film hour our reviewers turn their attention to superhero spy thriller Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh, Tove, a biopic about the life of Moomins creator Tove Jansson, and classic film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer.
