1: From Barnsley to Sheffield
Ian McMillan goes on a literary tour of Yorkshire. Featuring Barry Hines, Blake Morrison and John Shuttleworth.
Poet, Radio presenter, and Yorkshireman Ian McMillan has been on a literary tour around God's Own Country to visit the streets, towns, cities and moors that have inspired so much classic writing. From Ian's own home town of Barnsley and his own literary hero Barry Hines, to the Moors of Haworth that will forever belong to The Bront毛s, we're exploring a county bursting at the seams with writers and writing.
Ian chats to Blake Morrison, author of 'And When Did You Last See Your Father?' about the idiosyncratic way that Yorkshiremen speak, and brings us the following programmes from the 大象传媒 Archives:
