The vlogging globe-trotting grandparents
The Ironbridge couple swapped respectable day jobs for the life of digital nomads as Tread The Globe. Plus the unusual comedy venue nearly 1,000 years old. With Nina Das Gupta.
We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:
• The globetrotting grandparents from Ironbridge who have turned in to YouTube sensations. Ten years after quitting their respectable day-jobs to drive around all four corners of the road, living the life of digital nomads, as Tread The Globe.
• Discovering how Chris McCausland, Russell Kane, Ed Byrne and Joanne McNally are confirmed for a huge comedy gig this summer in one of our area's most unusual and oldest venues.
• Get to know Harbourne and Edgbaston comedian Harry Jenkins, who's gone from needing Dutch courage to apply for his first open mic, to becoming one of the circuit's regulars, clocking up hundreds of gigs a year!
• She's the forensic psychologist who loves creepy criminal characters and profiling potential protagonists so much, she's turned in to a crime writer herself! Meet Worcester writer Kate Hopcraft who blends romance and fantasy in her detective thrillers.
• He's the 16-year-old sports photographer who says his dream is to be pitchside snapping for his favourite team, Manchester United. Find out why you can forgive George from Redditch, who guides us through his stunning shots for the likes of Worcester Warriors and Birmingham City.
