Mark Steel's In Town

Series 11, Episode 2 - Walthamstow

The comedian visits the east London town of Walthamstow, where he finds a town mid-gentrification: the dog track has gone, the market remains, as does the cafe covered in pictures of Princess Diana. But there's also evidence of a controversial cycling scheme dubbed "Mini Holland", so Mark had better tread carefully when he performs to the locals.

Series 2, Episode 4 - Northern

This week, Rosie looks at being Northern. She grew up in a coastal town in Yorkshire, but seems to be ashamed that she moved to London for work. Louise Young joins Rosie on stage to examine what it means to be from the North, and if their identities and attitudes are really tied to where they are from.
