After over a decade in London, comedian Jayde Adams is returning to her hometown of Bristol. Why? It's cheaper. But also because of reasons that are much deeper than that, and which she told Radio 4 would probably take two half-hour episodes to explain.

Over the course of this mini series, Jayde is going to be asking what 'feeling at home' really means; why we leave home; and why some of us, at least, feel the draw to go back.

Not that Jayde's story isn't interesting enough on its own - girl lives in same house for eighteen years, moves to London, moves back again - Jayde's also spoken to Dawn French, Victoria Scone, Keala Settle and Sophie Willan about their own experiences of home; where they've made home; and how it's made them.
