Duration: 50 minutes

Presented by Lauren Laverne from the Pleasance Courtyard, covering the pick of the shows and events in Edinburgh.

Scottish choreographer Michael Clark joins Lauren as he returns to the International Festival for the first time in twenty years. Clark's work is distinctively radical and revolutionary - in 1988, his production I Am Curious Orange, featuring live music from The Fall, was a huge hit. This year, his inspirtation is the late Seventies, when rock's 'holy trinity' - David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed - were at the height of their creative powers.

Scots author Denise Mina talks to Neil Gaiman and Ian Rankin about the power and popularity of graphic novels.

Sarah Millican, winner of the if.comedy Best Newcomer award in 2008, presents the last of her personal reports on her experiences of Edinburgh 2009.

Arthur Smith takes one last turn round the streets of the Scottish capital on Arthur's Seat, and joining him on the motorised sofa is Denise Van Outen, in town with a musical show called Blondes.
