The UK’s leading cultural festival has found itself slightly overshadowed by a certain sports event down south, but Edinburgh’s celebration of arts, music and comedy is as vibrant as ever. Helen and Barney discover why it’s the craziest time of year in the city, while CBBC presenter and stand-up comic Iain Stirling gives viewers his hot festival picks. Unexpected bagpipe specialists Red Hot Chilli Pipers perform their own version of the Blue Peter theme tune.
