Tube World Record
 My
third attempt to beat the world record on the underground was filmed as
part of a series of programmes called 'The Tube'. Episode 3 of this series
was called "24 hours" and me and my mate Dave are in about half
of it! This is the programme that forever gets repeated on Sky Travel
more often than I'd like - due to the bad haircut and sillu three-quarter
length shorts that I was wearing on the day.
The Tube - 24 Hours (Part 1),
The Tube - 24 Hours (Part 2),And
the trailer that appeared the week before
Following on from that was a TV programme made exclusively
following around my fourth attempt around the tube, called "Race
around the Underground" - first broadcast on ITV1 (Carlton Region
only) on Thursday 16th October 2003.

 Neil
Fox mention- When the London Evening Standard ran our story, Capital
Radio picked up on it and Neil Fox made us his 'double play' feature of
the day. My favourite part is his quote that says he thinks we can't have
jobs ...
iPod related
In
Da Pod - The movie - When I succesfully completed my iPod quest
back in 2004, I made my first ever 'pop-style' video documenting the
whole saga and evidence of me actually going and buying the iPod. Music:
Pet Shop Boys- "Flamboyant"
Winners and Losers
- When '50 pence' got picked up by the mass media, I appeared (briefly!)
on a TV show called 'Winners and Losers' (I was a winner! at the end
of 2004, where the iPod was the number eight winner, and they included
a bit of me!
Miles Mendoza very kindly gave me a mention on his website
of the day feature - long after I'd got the money, and got the iPod!
