Brian May and Professor Roger Taylor, Doctors' shows at the Fringe, Rachel Parris
Three NHS doctors tell us about their fringe shows, Queen guitarist Brian May talks about his love of 3D photography and Rachel Parris explains what makes a winning comedy song.
Queen guitarist Brian May fell in love with 3D photography as a child and has since gone on to establish his own publishing company devoted to sharing stereoscopic work from the Victorian era to the present day. May's latest publication is a book by Professor Roger Taylor about the Scottish photography pioneer George Washington Wilson. May and Taylor discuss why Wilson's 3D photographs of Scottish landscapes and street scenes remain as captivating today as they were during the 3D boom of the 1850s and 60s.
As the NHS celebrates its 70th anniversary, three doctors are performing their own stand up shows on the Festival fringe. Adam Kay, Dr Kevin Jones and Kwame Asante talk to Kirsty about using their working lives as material.
Star of The Mash Report and Austentatious, Rachel Parris tells us what makes a winning comedy song.
And Scottish musician Mairi Campbell shares a lesser-known version of Auld Lang Syne.
