In search of the meaning of Yorkshire

I’m going to define the essence of this sprawling place as best I can. I’m going to start here, in this village, and radiate out like a ripple in a pond. I don’t want to go to the obvious places, either; I want to be like a bus driver on my first morning on the job, getting gloriously lost, turning up where I shouldn’t. I’m going to confirm or deny the clichés, holding them up to see where the light gets in. Yorkshire people are tight. Yorkshire people are arrogant. Yorkshire people eat a Yorkshire pudding before every meal. Yorkshire people solder a t’ before every word they use... If there were such a thing as a professional Yorkshireman, Ian McMillan would be it. He’s regularly consulted as a home-grown expert, and southerners comment archly on his ‘fruity Yorkshire brogue’. But he has been keeping a secret. His dad was from Lanarkshire, Scotland, making him, as he puts it, only ‘half tyke’. So Ian is worried; is he Yorkshire enough?To try to understand what this means Ian embarks on a journey around the county, starting in the village has lived in his entire life. With contributions from the Cudworth Probus Club, a kazoo playing train guard, Mad Geoff the barber and four Saddleworth council workers looking for a mattress, Ian tries to discover what lies at the heart of Britain’s most distinct county and its people, as well as finding out whether the Yorkshire Pudding is worthy of becoming a UNESCO Intangible Heritage Site, if Harrogate is really, really, in Yorkshire and, of course, who knocks up the knocker up?

Dad the Donkey's on Fire

A mixture of stories, poems and autobiography: the donkey survives the fire, and the poet survives in a northern world where the sun does not shine equally or often on all and where Postman Pat pens a suicide note, maddened by his theme tune, but keeps on driving all the same. Ian McMillan is a regular radio and television presenter and contributor to "NMW" and other magazines.

My Sand Life, My Pebble Life

A memoir of a childhood and the sea

My sand life, my pebble life. My life measured out in tides, coming in and going out. My life measured out in games of trying to spot the sea first. My life measured out in the delicious and indulgent sadness that comes from leaving a holiday cottage for the last time and for the first time in several days it isn’t raining, but at least the kids have had a great time and, let’s face it, so have you.Warm and darkly funny, this sublimely crafted book transports you (in a blue Ford Zephyr, with an AA route map, a granny in the back and a bingo hall on the horizon) to the world of childhoods by the sea. Specifically, Ian’s memories of childhood: ones we’ll all identify with – endless sunny days on the beach, done to a turn fish and chips, legendary games of cricket, tea and cakes and family crammed into a tiny caravan, holiday cottages that live forever, buckets of shells, a busted fishing net and enough sand to make a beach, with the tide out, way out… In this nostalgic collection of reminiscences (with the odd poem thrown in) journey with Ian as he walks barefoot to the sea to see the sun rise. He is attacked by seagulls, and midges, and wasps. He eats a lot of fish and chips and it’s always the best yet. He nearly avoids a frisbee. He searches for jazz in Scarborough. He walks. He even tries to run. But mostly he savours the sea and our seaside moments and our seaside dreams.If you want a shot of salty sea air, a tussle with a seagull and the congenial companionship of someone described as ‘relentlessly jolly’ (The Guardian), this will be a joyous and moving read.

All 36 episodes of the maverick literary quizPoet Ian McMillan is our host in this gleeful game of literary tomfoolery, outrageous parody and biting wit. Joining him for some lighthearted competitive wordplay are a quartet of writers and comedians, all ready and eager to run riot through the halls of great literature.Their bookish challenges include ''New Beginnings and Endings'', which sees them topping and tailing well-known literary works to produce some very tall tales, ''Sound Effects'', where they have to guess a book title from a mélange of sounds, and ''Conversation Consequences'', where they imagine some unlikely meetings between fictional characters. Mrs Malaprop shares a Jacuzzi with Eliza Doolittle, Inspector Clouseau takes Blanche Dubois to a dance and The Dong with the luminous nose honks hooters with Cyrano de Bergerac...In addition, the panellists seize the chance to liberate famous authors from their individual genres and turn them loose on something different. Among their freewheeling stylings are Hunter S Thompson writing a public school prospectus, John Betjeman creating the copy for a Ford Probe brochure and Franz Kafka dispensing self-help advice in his Little Book of Calm.Wreaking havoc with the literary canon are Roger McGough, Miles Kington, Mark Thomas, Dillie Keane, John Hegley, Rory Motion, Mark Radcliffe, Arthur Smith, David Stafford, Helen Lederer, Sophie Hannah, Simon Armitage, Stuart Maconie, Linda Smith and Mark Steel.Presented by Ian McMillanDevised by Marc JobstProduced by Marc Jobst and Viv BeebyNB: contains some dated attitudes and languageFirst broadcast on BBC Radio 4, 31 October-5 December 1995 (Series 1), 18 February-25 March 1997 (Series 2), 14 October-18 November 1997 (Series 3), 2 July-6 August 1998 (Series 4), 25 November-30 December 1998 (Series 5), 22 June-27 July 1999 (Series 6)(p) 2021 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd© 2021 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd

In Red River Valley, the new collection from one of Britain's most treasured living poets, Ian McMillan makes poems from family life, everyday surrealism, and the effect of austerity on the village near Barnsley where he's lived all his life. Language is the playground and form is the rewritten rule book in work that tries to sit on the page and in the ear at the same time.After all these years, he's still trying to find his voice; maybe it's here in Red River Valley, his dad's favourite song.

Real Barnsley

Tillfälligt slut

Join poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan as he looks into the past of his native Barnsley, exploring its history and recalling his own experiences of this particular patch of South Yorkshire. Barnsley – mentioned in the Domesday Book – developed incrementally into an important commercial and cultural centre, home to cinemas, theatres, civic life and Barnsley FC, McMillan’s beloved Tykes. Appropriately, the home of an ancient glass industry was also the site of Britain’s first bottlebank.Real Barnsley also tours the surrounding villages and small towns so important to local identity. Penistone, Hoyland Common, Wombwell, Cawthorne, Royston, Carlton, Cudworth, Grimesthorpe and McMillan’s own Darfield are all on his itinerary. Some were mining villages, products of the seventy collieries within a 15 mile radius of Barnsley (all now closed). Others are rural market towns, on the edge of the Pennines. As McMillan discovers the tide of industry has gone out but the heritage tide has flowed, with the establishment of the Elsecar Heritage Centre at an old ironworks, and ‘The Maurice Dobson Museum and Heritage Centre’, at which the author volunteers. And there are always the moors, to which workers have escaped from factories and pits, where the film Kes was shot.McMillan’s Barnsley is nothing if not an eclectic mix, home to brass bands and the Barnsley Chop but the Arctic Monkeys, Saxon and Kate Rusby. It is also home to Michael Parkinson, Dicky Bird, sculptor Graham Ibbeson, Lord Halifax, Ebenezer Elliott, poet, and the highwayman Swift Nick. And plenty of colourful locals including McMillan himself: Real Barnsley is his shared story.

This is a collection of poems and prose pieces that continue the author's exploration of self, place, history and comedy: from columns for BBC Radio 4, to a poetic journal of a Mexican visit; and from poems for "Arts Management Weekly" to poems rejected by editors as too bizarre for children.
