Episode Two

This year, the biggest arts festival in the world is on hold, but this programme, the second of two films, captures the spirit of Edinburgh and brings to viewers highlights of new shows and events from the festival Fringe, the Book Festival and the International Festival, which are happening within the constraints of the Covid lockdown.

We hear stories of how creatives have worked under lockdown and managed to create shows to entertain us. Comedians Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Lolly Adefope light-heartedly aim to re-create the festival atmosphere, capture the spirit of Edinburgh 2020 and tell the story of how the city became host to the largest, most accessible and creative arts festival in the world.
