Yeah - I'd seen that on YouTube before - nice reminder though - cheers, Chance!

I read in an interview recently that he wasn't particularly happy with that filming... Ah - here it is!

I’ve not been filmed since a very unfortunate BBC2 experience in 2000 based on ‘The Modern Antiquarian‘. I hated it. I didn’t want to be a TV presenter. They managed to use every ‘safety shot’ from film as the actual shot in order to make me look like a TV presenter. I really knew those guys well and even then it didn’t look like what I wanted to be. So I just thought that I won’t be filmed for anything.

Damn shame. This is probably why it's never been released, as so many of us wish it would be, or shown on telly since! :(

I don't understand what he means by the 'safety shot' thing.

Shame he's dissapointed by it. I think it's great and I love to watch it. And he's nothing like a TV presenter at all.

That said, I don't watch TV, so what do I know?
