BBC Radio 4 - Bridget Christie's Utopia, Series 1, Spirituality

As civilisation collapses, Bridget Christie embarks on a comic quest for her Shangri-La.

Bridget explores spirituality - will yoga, Hinduism or being a nun solve her problems, or will life still be rubbish? From 2018.

As Bridget Christie struggles to come to terms with current world events - Kim Jong-un, the melting polar ice caps, the Brexit negotiations and Nick Knowles singing a cover of The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun", she embarks on a comic quest for her Utopia.

She's seeking a way of living that will make her less anxious and enable her to have her first happy week since the Brexit vote in 2016.

In this episode, Bridget explores spirituality - to see if that will make her happier. 

Could Yoga, Hinduism or becoming a nun be the answer to all her problems? Or will life still be completely rubbish? 

In her tour of spirituality, Bridget meets an elderly nun - Sister Agatha - at Bar Convent, hides from an Easter egg hunt and witnesses the aftermath of her husband getting a wedgie from the ghost of Napoleon. Will any of this help her switch off?

Stand-up show recorded in front of a studio audience at the BBC Radio Theatre. 

With special guest Sister Agatha. 

Producers: Simon Nicholls & Alison Vernon-Smith.

A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2018.
