'The Sidemen love our games'
How a Bridgnorth family created an international games phenomenon. Plus tales from the set of Slow Horses courtesy of Malvern filmmaker Ben J Williams. With Phillip Stoneman.
We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Phillip Stoneman, including:
• She set up a board games business with her brother, whose products are endorsed by The Sidemen. Get to know Bridgnorth's Josie North, as we find out how, for games that make people laugh all over the world, we have a house fire to thank.
• From Slow Horses to Marvel's Vision Quest, discover tales from some of the biggest film and TV sets going, courtesy of the Malvern director and filmmaker Ben J Williams, who spills the beans on the tricks of the trade.
• From peeling potatoes and washing dishes at his Staffordshire local to picking up a following in the millions online, being recognised by Michelin and now releasing his first ever book: Cheddleton's Chef Thom Bateman is on, sharing the intricacies of building 130 recipes from scratch.
• Meeting three of the finalists of this year's Breaking Talent Prize at the Birmingham Comedy Festival. Coventry's Andy Bucks, Solihull's Eden Voss and Small Heath's Naph are three of the five who'll fight it out for the hallowed mug at the Glee Club this weekend.
