Whitby

Mark Steel's in Town Series 11
Episode 3 of 3

Comedian Mark Steel heads off to Whitby with its Dracula origin story, chip shops and past predilection for hunting whales.

There’s one thing you definitely can’t miss in Whitby and that’s the ruined abbey up on a cliff looking down on the town. It’s also hard to miss the jawbone of a blue whale set atop the opposite hill and the fact that Dracula was researched and written here by Bram Stoker. You’ll not go wanting if you are in search of a chip, either. Mark Steel manages to dodge the seagulls and presents his findings to a local audience at The Brunswick Centre.
