Friends of VDM Talk - Oxford Z - A
–
14th May 2026
Join the Friends of the Vale & Downland Museum and speaker Richard O. Smith for another fascinating talk
Richard O. Smith is a comedy writer who contributes material to Radio 4's The Now Show, The News Quiz and BBC 2's Dara O'Briain's Science Club.
The talk is funny, entertaining yet historically accurate ride through the quirky and eccentric characters, customs and stories of Oxford - a city that hums with history. Revel in true tales of Oxford’s oddballs, pranksters, poets, murderers, explorers, scientists, actors, criminals and politicians (there may be some crossover here).
