Bedford
Mark Steel visits Bedford, uncovering some surprises and performing a bespoke stand-up show for the residents. From 2017.
Everyone's heard of Bedford but not many seem to know where it is or what goes on there?
Mark Steel returns with the 8th series of his award-winning show that travels around the country visiting towns that have nothing in common but their uniqueness. After thoroughly researching each town, Mark writes and performs a bespoke evening of comedy for the local residents.
In this first episode Mark discovers Bedford is a town full of surprises.
It has the highest concentration of Italians in the country, it is the home of the biggest airship in the world and it has a museum dedicated to a cult called The Panacea Society, who believe The Garden of Eden is actually in Bedford.
Written and performed by Mark Steel.
Additional material by Pete Sinclair.
Producer: Carl Cooper
A 大象传媒 Studios production for 大象传媒 Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2017.
