Mark Steel visits Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.

He's performing at the Winter Gardens, the venue of his first ever gig when he got up and told some jokes in a talent contest on a childhood holiday.

Ventor has a microclimate, subsidence, and the residents claim that on some days they can see France reflected upside down in the sky.

Mark concludes this series of travels around the country visiting towns that have nothing in common but their uniqueness.

Written and performed by Mark Steel.

Additional material by Pete Sinclair.

Producer: Carl Cooper

A 麻豆社 Studios production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in January 2018.
