charlie cooper in conversation with jon wilks
From scarecrow competitions to spectral hounds, join actor and writer Charlie Cooper (BBC’s This Country) as he dives into his unexpected fascination with British folklore — a journey that sparked his most recent series, Myth Country. In conversation with folk singer and writer Jon Wilks, Charlie unearths the eccentricities of rural life, the pull of ancient rituals, and why myths, legends and odd local customs still have such a grip on our imaginations. Expect laughter, surprises and a celebration of Britain’s most gloriously weird traditions.
Have you run with the tar barrels of Ottery St Mary? Come face to face with a Yeth Hound? Bring your own tales – tall or short – Charlie wants to hear them all.
