Will travels by bus and interviews locals about their lives, their jobs and how they voted in the brexit referendum. Will Self is respectful and fair as he discusses local politics. Well worth a listen to one of the greatest living authors Britain has.

Great listen, enjoyed it all. References to Preston Bus Station and a patch of mud in Middlesborough are my highlights. Neither turgid nor facile, sincere and respectful towards participants. I liked how train travel between minor cities of faded glory was eschewed for being too glamourous. If...Read full review »

A wry-and-yet-earnest/honest poetic-dystopic journey though Not So Great Britain, pulled off with Will Self’s characteristic wit and mastery of the English language, a journey well worth making I say!

Will Self isn't to everyone's taste but this is thought provoking and interesting. What is the UK of today like, who are it's people, how do they live? Try it - I think you'll enjoy it - I was a bit dubious at first but will certainly listen more than one time.Read full review »

Interesting exploration of British identity, delivered with dry humour and honesty.

If, like me you are laid in bed thinking about work and what you’re doing tomorrow and blah blah blah and are looking to escape your busy mind, then look no further. Will Self on a bus chatting to locals in places you wouldn't go and if you had you would have forgotten. Terrific!Read full review »

I was sceptical when I saw the write-up for this but remembered Will Self from many moons ago on the box. This series is fascinating and delivered in the exact manner you'd expect from Self. He allows the people he interviews to help pain the picture and delivers it bite size episodes that...Read full review »

Great stuff, more please
Fergalmc via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/10/18
Has everything from politics to history to literature. Britain by coach and bus isn’t glamorous but neither is Britain, that’s the beauty of it. This podcast captures ‘real’ anti-brochure Britain - hats off to it!

I've always been a fan of Will Self, I've enjoyed his writing and hearing him speak on the radio on various topics with the utmost informed and intellectual points of view, but what I enjoy the most about this series is hearing the way he talks with the public, he is polite, friendly,...Read full review »

Not pish (whatever that is) but surely that lugubrious monotonal delivery and gently sardonic wit is kind of the point of Will Self!

Brilliant. A true reflection of this strange place..
Gary magic via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/04/18
Delightful insights and observations. Thank you.

Dry wit , intelligent observations , bringing humanity into the political explanations for why Britons have not been happy with how things have gone in recent decades

Interesting and insightful, an engaging social record of people and places. Stay on the bus and cover the rest of Britain then the World please.

Good programme, interesting way of doing a tour of Britain, Will Self observers us well

Pish delivered monotonously
Alwterry via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/30/18
Travelling the length and breadth of Britain at this curious historical juncture by means of the omnibus and the coach. In the wheeltracks if not the footsteps of historical figures. Self is the perfect person for this. With his distinctive voiceover, punctuated by interviews with locals, it’s a...Read full review »
