Comedians Rob Carter & Eric Idle
Discover the creation set in Shropshire which has spawned shows, TV gigs and his own sitcom. Plus Monty Python's Eric Idle opens up about his Midlands roots. With Nina Das Gupta.
We're celebrating the best creatives where we live, with Nina Das Gupta, including:
• A love letter to rural England, via a deep dive in to character comedy. We bring you the soap opera, made by the comedy character, made by an actor: Introducing Shropshire's Christopher Bliss, and his maker, Rob Carter.
• From growing up in Studley, going to school in Wolverhampton, playing cricket for Redditch and knocking Frank Sinatra off the charts: Hear from West Midlands legend, Monty Python's Eric Idle!
• It's one of the biggest streaming shows of all time - and has got to be one of the few that can say it combines witchcraft with a day of the week. Meet acting star Moosa Mostafa from Leamington Spa, working his magic in the new series of Wednesday, the wickedly witty twist on the Addams Family legacy.
• If you love true crime, you'll love author Emma Woodhouse - taking us back to Victorian Bridgnorth - not for a Whodunnit - but for a 'Did She Really Do It?' - exploring one of Shropshire's most shocking stories.
• From an idea whilst procrastinating at university to being on the cusp of an in-person physical store! Get to know Birmingham social media sensation Dominique Bogal, whose brand Hair Anatomy UK has picked up more than a hundred thousand followers on social media, and is making a difference to people all over the country affected by hair loss.
