The Countryside
Bridget explores the countryside - could commune living or moving her family to the country make her happier? From 2018.
As Bridget Christie struggles to come to terms with current world events - Kim Jong-un, the melting polar ice caps, the Brexit negotiations and Nick Knowles singing a cover of The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun", she's embarked on a comic quest for her Utopia.
She's seeking a way of living that will make her less anxious and enable her to have her first happy week since the Brexit vote in 2016.
In this episode, Bridget explores the countryside - to see if that will make her happier.
Could living on a rural commune or moving her family to the country be the answer to all her problems? Or will life still be completely rubbish? In her tour of the countryside, Bridget meets a woman who runs her own commune - Fran Blockley - in rural Wales. Could a new life in the countryside help this town mouse switch off?
Stand-up show recorded in front of a studio audience at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Theatre. With special guest Fran Blockley.
Producers: Simon Nicholls and Alison Vernon-Smith.
A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Studios production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2018.
