Episode 3
The comedian and quizzer delves into new towns, proving on the way that Runcorn has way more to it than you thought. From 2021.
Paul Sinha is an award-winning comedian, the reigning British Quiz Champion and also, according to the Radio Times, the UK's "funniest fund of forgotten facts".
He's recounting the amazing true stories that lie behind fascinating nuggets of information.
This episode looks at the history of the UK's new towns, from the son of Stevenage who was one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people, to the Redditch-born superstar who has more Twitter followers than anyone else in Britain.
Also, Paul proves empirically that Runcorn is at least three times more interesting than you thought.
Written and performed by Paul Sinha.
