Miles Jupp is Insufficiently Belgian

Miles Jupp

1 March 2015

"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?"

Christine Sas from UCL teaches Miles Jupp some Flemish in preparation for his trip to Belgium. Listen to the podcast on the Radio 4 website.
