Stop The Press

Series 1, Episode 1

Team captains Jo Caulfield and Gary Robertson join chair Grant Stott for a new panel game in which a team of journalists go up against the people they are reporting on. The guests are Justin Currie, frontman of Scottish band Del Amitri and now a solo artist; and music journalist from the Scotsman, Fiona Shephard. The show focuses on a subject both of them know a lot about - music - but who knows the most, the Professional or the Press?
