From the host of Radio 4's Simon Evans Goes to Market, comes this humorous, even mischievous celebration of the friendship at the heart of the Scottish Enlightenment, and a wider examination of its unique intellectual legacy. From the birth of political economy as a discipline, through the navigations of a genial empiricist in a deeply pious world, to the single greatest unleashing of talent per capita in the history of the modern world. It has never been more important to remind Scots of their birthright of robust and vigorous debate!

Comedy picks to help you get the best out of the Fringe

Every year, Paul Levy asks me for a list of the top ten 'must-see' comedy shows at Edinburgh Fringe. This year there are 1,520 comedy shows to see. Working through the list, it is clear that ten isn't going to do it.
