Mark Steel always does a great job in these series, a combination of mickey taking, appreciation for history and healthy amounts of tongue in cheek. Highly recommended if you dont take yourself too seriously :)

Great fun, as always with Mark Steel

As with all previous "Mark Steel's in town" seasons, this one is once more an absolute delight to listen to. Mark Steel's way of being both educational and taking the mickey out of places is very amusing and his wide range of accents is impressive.

Always a delight

Mark Steel always manages to find something unexpected whereever he goes so I never tire of his little snapshots of Britain.

I always enjoy these

I love this series where Mark Steel manages to encapsulate the soul of Britain with an earthy and erudite humour that’s all his own. There’s a real art in exposing the foibles of a place before and with its inhabitants in a way that endears. Thoroughly recommend the series for anyone wanting cheering up though there are some extremely penetrating insights into the way our towns are being ruined and made more soulless by large corporations and vision less planners

Witty inventive humour
