Synopsis
Everyone talks about ‘Middle England’. Sometimes they mean something bad, like a lynch mob of tabloid readers, and sometimes they mean something good, like a pint of ale in a sleepy Cotswold village. But just where and what is Middle England? Stuart Maconie didn’t know either, so he packed his Thermos and sandwiches and set off to find out... Is Middle England about tradition and decency or closed minds and bigotry? Is it maypoles and evensong, or flooded market towns and binge drinkers? Does it hark back to the myth of Merrie England or is it a modern concept borne of Top Gear and Princess Diana? Stuart Maconie leads an expedition by rail and road – via Carnforth and Adelstrop, Scratchwood and Tebay – in search of Jane Austen’s Bath, Disgusted’s Tunbridge Wells, Tom & Barbara Good’s Surbiton, Betjeman and Brent’s Slough, Elgar’s Malverns, Inspector Barnaby’s Midsomer and Thatcher’s Grantham – with plenty of stop-offs for tea and pastries along the way.
