Have never heard of him. Is he just Ewan McGregor's mate?

His programme on BBC2 atm is utter drivel (and he is visiting some fascinating places, should be very interesting really)

HAs sent DP to sleep

He's a bloke on holiday. With a camera crew following him.

Natch.

I couldn't tell you why though.

IIRC his dads a film director. So basically a rich 'kid' who can do what he wants and has connections in the right places.

So his dad's a film director, and his mate is Ewan.

But still, who is he?

Utter dick. Made a bomb joke at check-in on one of his leeching trips with Ewan McG, and then threw a hissy fit when he got in trouble for it.

DP's watching this at the moment.

Does anyone else think that he always looks as if hes on something? -just the way his eyes are wild and popping out of his head.

(Charlie Boorman that is, not my DP )

here he is

he is actually from a very priveliged background, although he looks like a scruffy, unwashed type

he didn't get where he is on merit, that is for sure

although, I would do him

Awful cringey moments when faced with Manila's street children

To me it's like a Newsround bulletin or something

Something like they'd show Y4 children to try and introduce topic of Third World

He has NO personality, NO empathy, No concept of what the people he is privileged enough to meet are going through and whichever TV exec who was conned by the 'Dadady the TV Man' and 'Ewan's my bessie mate' needs shooting.

Scene including him witnessing passer-by pissing in what is effectively street-child's bed (ie, pavement)

"God, that's like, awful" (or some such drivel)

Next scene him in a Bikers bar admiring the leather and metal and engines and shit

No, I wouldn't.

Even though he'd probably say Awesome a lot, regardless of my performance.

Although I have found the places he has travelled to interesting I think as someone else sadi his engagement with the travels do resemble a "Y4 topic of the 3rd world"

I felt much more fondly of the Blue Peter presenter bloke who was on Around the world in 80 days last week.He seemed to be truly interested in the places and people he was travelling in.

ohhhh, he is being made up as a lady-boy

I don't want to do him now

I can't stand the man.

Iam probably BU, but he'sjust a piggie-eyed trustafarian who is so far up his own arse he can see daylight. He must have got a BBC producer ripped on marching powder in Groucho's one night and convinced them to give him a show in exchange for him keeping schtum about the producer's pecadilloes with a mongolian throat singer while working on that Ewan McGregor thing.

Or something like that.
