BBC Radio 4 - Miles Jupp Is Insufficiently Belgian

Comedian Miles Jupp climbs his family tree, and skins his knee in the process.

Comedian Miles Jupp is descended from Belgian ancestors, but as he prepares for a gig in his ancestral homeland, he discovers that he is less Belgian than he thought.

Miles Jupp might seem to be as English as can be, but since his childhood he has known that he is descended from Belgian stock -and not just common or garden Belgian stock either: the Jupps are Huguenots, kicked out of the Low Countries in the 1500s for their religious beliefs. But as Miles prepares for a trip to Belgium to uncover his long lost family, and perform some stand up comedy in the town where the Jupps hail from, some cracks start to appear in his family tree. Could Miles actually be insufficiently Belgian?

Miles Jupp is Insufficiently Belgian is written by Miles Jupp and David Stenhouse with additional material by James Kettle. The actor is David Jackson Young and the producer is David Stenhouse.
