* Somewhere Up There

on BBC One London

A new late-night entertainment programme from the North
Melvyn Bragg takes a look at affairs from a Manchester viewpoint - a look which takes in sport... poetry... people...
Among those taking part Sarah Boston, Cate Haste, Mike Nally, Bill Tidy of The Cloggies

'We're trying to kick out an old cliche that's still voiced occasionally - the one that says London is full and the North empty, the South inventive, the North moribund, Manchester a limbo and London the heart...' Melvyn Bragg writing on why Somewhere Up There is not only produced and transmitted from Manchester but will draw, as far as possible, on Northern talent.
