Stuart Maconie The Full English - journey in search of a country and its people

Come with us for an insightful and far-reaching expedition into Englishness from the DJ and author of bestselling Pies and Prejudice, one of the keenest observers of English identity. Who better to retrace Priestley's famous 30s guide and take the temperature of the nation at this uncertain waymark on our national journey and write a love letter to England, as he wends his way through towns and cities, by bus and train, to meet a rich cast of characters and delve into the seldom-explored crevices of our national psyche. How does the country look today, unmoored from its European neighbours and emerging blinking from the ice age of doubt and insecurity that was Covid? ‘As funny as Bryson and as wise as Orwell.’ The Observer
