The parish has an important visitor on Friday 24 February when BBC 2 and Radios 3 & 4 regular Ian McMillan will be performing at Chrishall.

Ian is something of a National Treasure, managing to be both a brilliant and entertaining comic  as well as an internationally famous poet. He hosts the weekly shows The Verb and Proms variation Adverb on BBC Radio 3, "dedicated to investigating spoken words around the globe". He has been described in the BBC's publication Radio Times as the "22nd Most Powerful Person in Radio"! He is also a regular roving contributor to BBC Radio 4 Today Programme where he was at one stage dubbed as the programme's "Election Laureate".

He co-wrote the Radio 4 comedy series Street and Lane with Dave Sheasby and presented a BBC Radio 3 series on writing, Ian McMillan's Writing Lab, in which he talked to a range of authors which included Julian Barnes, Mark Ravenhill, Howard Jacobson and Michael Rosen. He is also a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's long-running game show Just A Minute.

When he was the castaway on the BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, he stunned Kirsty Young with his choice of music, which included John Cage's silent piece "4′33″" and Andy Stewart singing "Donald Where's Your Troosers?"!!

He is a frequent guest on Newsnight Review, The Mark Radcliffe Show, The Today Programme, You & Yours, The Culture Show, Never Mind The Full Stops and Have I Got News For You?. He narrates The Museum on BBC 2 on Thursdays.
