Anne-Marie Duff narrates stories of survival and resilience from the roads that encircle Bedford.

The edge of town can be a perilous place, a periphery landscape of industrial estates and redundant brickworks. Life can seem fragile here, but it also bears witness to tales of determination and hope.

In this episode, Bedford is in the spotlight. Among the stories, an Eden nestled in a garden square, a violent end to a relationship that started so happily on line and a helicopter pilot tempted into crime, stunned by life in Bedford Prison.
