A lecturer at Edinburgh University wants all your videos. He wants all the clips he can get to make a documentary film as part of Creative Scotland. The Edinburgh Evening News has more. Have you seen our new live video clips? They are at the top right hand side of the site. Our latest is an interview with the Open Eye Gallery about their exhibition. We have also filmed the opening of a new post office in Bruntsfield and have clips of a couple of council candidates. We also have the full list of all council candidates here with their election leaflets where we have them, and a link through to their full profile.  We are also compiling a list of all Edinburgh hustings and you can add in any that we have missed on our n0tice Board which you will find here.

LapinTania Czajka has a cunning plan to teach little ones basicFrench… dress it up in a cute puppet adventure and before you know it your little ones will know their pois from their chou!

Join us on Tuesday 10 Apr at 11am or 3pm for Lapin’s adventure as he searches out a special carrot for Easter… perhaps with the help of the Easter Bunny!
