Mark Steel's In Town

Mark performs from Spires Drama Studios in Paisley, Renfrewshire, the largest town in Scotland, but definitely not in Glasgow. Mark investigates the town's weaving industry, visits a 'Car Park In The Sky' and has a game of pool with a dog called Murphy.

In the penultimate episode Mark Steel visits the Renfrewshire town of Paisley, in Scotland, but definitely not in Glasgow. The largest town in Scotland, Paisley has a rich history; being at the centre of the weaving industry it gave its name to the famous Paisley pattern, as well as being the site of a landmark legal battle involving a snail in a bottle of ginger beer which led to a change in consumer law. More recently, Paisley elected Mhairi Black, the youngest MP since 1832.

Whilst in town Mark visits a 'Car Park In The Sky', has a wander round a 12th century Abbey with alien gargoyles and ends up having a game of pool with a dog called Murphy.
