The Telegraph and Argus features a new radio play called Bilal and Ted's Bradfordian Adventure which will be broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds on January 2 and 7.
The play, entitled Bilal and Ted's Bradfordian Adventure, has been commissioned by BBC Radio Leeds as part of the Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture celebrations.
It follows Bradford schoolboys and best friends Bilal and Ted as they take a journey of discovery to find out why their city has been named the 2025 UK City of Culture.
Their quest for inspiration leads them to a statue of Bradford playwright, JB Priestley - and upon touching the statue, they are whisked away through time and space.

An actual picture of Emily Brontë could have been used for the programme image, though.
At Any Amount of Books on the Charing Cross Road in London, where a bookstore has stood for 100 years, the variety of secondhand items in the Christmas window display is wide enough to tempt almost anyone.
Beautifully-bound older editions of novels by Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters and poetry by WH Auden are particularly popular gifts, says William Hayward, a general bookseller at the store. “It's to do with the age and the sharing of past to present that comes with that.”
