Mark Steel's in TownSeries 2
Episode 2 of 6

Footballers' mansions, 3D eyelashes and a rhyming wizard. Mark discovers what makes Wilmslow distinctive. From April 2010.

Comedian Mark Steel returns to visit more UK towns to discover what makes them and their inhabitants distinctive.

He creates a bespoke stand-up show for each town and performs the show in front of a local audience.

As well as shedding light on the less visited areas of Britain, Mark uncovers stories and experiences that resonate with us all as we recognise the quirkiness of the British way of life and the rich tapestry of remarkable events and people who have shaped where we live.

This time Mark performs a show for the residents of Wilmslow in Cheshire.

He gets to grips with Footballers Mansions, 3D eyelashes and the rhyming Wizard of Alderley Edge.

Written by Mark Steel
