Journalist and author Tim Burrows leads a panel discussion including artist Michael Landy and writer & broadcaster Gillian Darley (author of ‘Excellent Essex: In Praise of England’s Most Misunderstood County’) to discuss about England’s most misunderstood county – from the blatant stereotypes such as ‘Essex Man’ and ‘Essex Girls’, to its celebration in reality TV shows such as ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
