Mickey JoHOST
I mentioned that this is taking place in the southwest of France.
Mickey JoHOST
However, to capture what that area might mean comparatively to British audiences, everyone seems directed here to use accents from Northern England, which is possibly some kind of a regional stereotype with these humorless, perhaps Yorkshire-accented peasants arguing over land, the unfortunate byproduct of which is occasionally a line would be said in this mostly sung-through musical that did make it sound a bit like Emmerdale.
Mickey JoHOST
More abstract though is the aesthetic of the whole thing.
Mickey JoHOST
Now, the floor is covered in red sand.

Scarlett MaguireGUEST
But at the moment, the public's actually in the mood to give Andy Burnham a bit more time than I think many people thought.
Michael SimmonsHOST
And we were talking before we showed the budget about whether this was a budget for the north and whether this certainly seems like a government budget.
Michael SimmonsHOST
for the North.
Michael SimmonsHOST
Do you find differences, geographical differences in what voters want from the government in terms of public services and tax and spend?
Scarlett MaguireGUEST
That's a great question.
Scarlett MaguireGUEST
So it more actually depends on other sort of demographic factors, which you'll find then sort of clubbed together in different parts of the country.
Scarlett MaguireGUEST
So you do find a difference, for example, with what sort of ABC1 conservative voters in the southeast of the country think relative to, say, C2DE, Labour Reform swing voters in the North.
Scarlett MaguireGUEST
I actually think that there wasn't something necessarily this was pitched towards the north of England today.
Eleanor JanegaGUEST
And to the point where in the early medieval period, they essentially had their own form of Christianity that was in competition with the Roman church.
Eleanor JanegaGUEST
So there's a kind of Irish form of Christianity, which holds sway in a lot of places like Northern England, right? And to the point that popes took a dim view of this and got on boats to go to Northern England because they're like, it's getting a little too Irish up in here and we need to try to make sure that that robe takes over.
Eleanor JanegaGUEST
But still having said that, we don't have a ton of records for what was going on with Halloween then.
Eleanor JanegaGUEST
It kind of comes up in a sort of more of a high medieval context and the late medieval context.
Jason WaltonHOST
Um, I'm probably gonna misquote it.
Jason WaltonHOST
I only read this once, but, um, the, the two of them were out hunting cowboys in Northern England.
Jason WaltonHOST
And after, yeah, after a session of cowboy hunting, they met at a pub.
Jason WaltonHOST
And they started a band.
Nicolas CaryGUEST
I froze my butt off up there and then came to the UK in the fall when it was raining and dark and moved to York.
Nicolas CaryGUEST
in the middle of Northern England, which I always love some of the kind of symmetry from that because we always say we're up in York and they're like, what, New York? And you're like, no, old York with the castle walls and we're going to come, you know, compete and disrupt every financial...
Nicolas CaryGUEST
That was just because you have your
Richard MuirheadHOST
British co-founders.
Spence MaddenHOST
They drop them off in the UK, put them back on trains.
Spence MaddenHOST
They drive them up to Northern England.
Spence MaddenHOST
They then take it off the train.
Spence MaddenHOST
They dump the chippets, literally, I'm talking wood pelts, into their greenwashing program that generates power for part of the UK up there.
MasonHOST
We're about to sit down with William Lees-Jones, the managing director of JW Lees.
MasonHOST
It's one of Northern England's oldest brewing companies and it's Manchester's oldest pub group.
MasonHOST
We're going to talk about how the family's built generational wealth in hospitality, William's experience of coming into the business and being MD from 2003 to now, how the business and the family have survived the economic downturns of the UK and the hospitality market, but also how they're now thriving and setting revenue records and profit records in 2026.
MasonHOST
We're going to be talking about a new Mancunian Prime Minister and everything in between about what's to expect of hospitality.
Stefanie TyreHOST
Chillingham Castle is more than 800 years old, so there is quite a bit to get through in terms of history.
Stefanie TyreHOST
So this beautiful medieval castle can be found in the village of Chillingham, which is in Northern England area.
Stefanie TyreHOST
And what we see today originally dates back to the 12th century and began as a monastery.
Stefanie TyreHOST
Now from what I could find the Grey family were given the estate by King Henry III in 1246 and they actually held the property and its land until 1932 which is mental.
Liam McGrathHOST
Which parts of the country were growing most rapidly, would you say?
Daniel GoochHOST
Well, it was happening everywhere, but some of the most remarkable urban population increases were in, not surprisingly, the Midlands and the North.
Daniel GoochHOST
If you look at the 20 largest settlements in 1801 in the country, East Anglia had more representatives than the North and Midlands combined, which is astonishing today, thinking of how rural and how few large settlements there are in East Anglia.
Daniel GoochHOST
But by 1801, four of the five largest cities outside London were Birmingham or further north.
Daniel GoochHOST
But of course, these are relative comparisons.
Daniel GoochHOST
Many of them were linked with heavy industry.
Daniel GoochHOST
You had canal ports, dockyard and port towns, coastal towns.
Daniel GoochHOST
Particularly in the West Midlands, Northwestern Yorkshire, you had these kind of industrial towns growing up.
