Fun and moreish!
Mark Steele has the knack of getting to the heart of every community he visits. He teases affectionately about past and present absurdities, revealing surprising details about Britain and the British along the way. This series is the perfect accompaniment to boring motorway driving. Am buying the rest!

Bonding local communities with their own history
Marks, inimitable style and ability to entertain in humorous fashion the inherent worth of local communities in a town or village is both entertaining as well as very, very funny. His research for each programme must have been enormous - bringing out facts and stories probably unknown toi most in the audience.
He seems to draw out the need for local bonding and building local pride where they live and work and play.
I hope these series carry on until every single TOWN & CITY has been visited!!
Brilliant and classical. Proof is we can listen to them again and again and these programmes are still funny.

Great Fun and better than any anti-depressant…
Mark Steel’s in Town series are non-stop fun. Whimsical, intelligent, he mixes fact and humour in his trademark style. Please release his many lectures on historical characters, and the new Series 7 soon. Thank you.

Brilliantly Entertaining
Mark Steel has hit on a fantastic format. He researches properly, his accents are brilliant and his take on local stories are hilarious.
Clever man, and like I said BRILLIANTLY entertaining. Easily worth a credit. His comedic take on Alderley Edge Cheshire is inspired and laugh out loud funny.

He Steels it.
Very entertaining stuff. It's like being there in the theatre yourself, but cheaper. Nice one Mark.
