Micky Flanagan: What Chance Change? - Episode 3

Cockney comedian Micky Flanagan's first radio series is about his progression from working-class Herbert to middle-class intellectual and being caught awkwardly between the two. His story is told through reflective interviews, but mainly, Micky's acclaimed stand up comedy. Micky's transition from the mean streets of the East End to the leafy lanes of Dulwich is a fascinating story, with each episode focusing on a different decade of Micky's life. In this episode Micky tells us about his 1990's, when he made up for his misspent youth by returning to education late in life, attending university and then becoming a teacher to a new generation of unruly pupils. He talks to Millionaire plumber Charlie Mullins who has a different take on the value of a University education and entertains us with tales of his time as a teacher, when he became so despondent that not even he would take his coat off in class. The series is written and performed by Micky Flanagan. The Producer is Tilusha Ghelani.
