After more than 10 years of living in London, comedian Jayde Adams is returning to her hometown of Bristol. Why? It’s cheaper. But also because of reasons that go deeper than that, and which she told Radio 4 would take another half-hour episode to explain. Jayde asks what ‘feeling at home’ really means; why we leave home; and why some of us, at least, feel the draw to go back. Not that Jayde’s story isn’t interesting enough on its own - girl lives in same house for 18 years, moves to London, moves back again. Jayde also spoke to Dawn French, Victoria Scone, Keala Settle and Sophie Willan about their own experiences of home; where they’ve made home; and how it’s made them. Written and performed by Jayde Adams. Script Editor: Simon Alcock Producer: Hayley Sterling A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in November 2021.
