David Beckham’s head on a melon
So here’s the final video of this week’s special advent calendar of And Finally reports. It’s my all time favourite And Finally and comes from a few years back, when an artist was carving England footballer’s faces onto melons to support our boys in the World Cup. I didn’t have much to work with, it […]
Speedy the Tortoise and his artificial leg
This week being Christmas week I’m sharing my favourite ever TV reports with you. Behind today’s Advent calendar window of fun is Speedy the Tortoise. Sadly he lost a leg and his owners made a new one out of Lego. When that fell to bits they were stumped. Fortunately a neighbour who is an inventor […]
The pub full of Rooneys
All this week I’m putting a different favourite TV report on my site each day. It’s a sort of advent calendar without the chocolate. This year, being a World Cup year, I did a lot of quirky football reports for the BBC. I had a drink in a pub where all the bar staff were […]
Mobile fruit saleswoman
Here’s a piece I did with a man who collects everything to do with Carmen Miranda. She’s that actress from old films who wore a lot of fruit in her hats. Enjoy
The tallest cricketer ever

Three Aladdins and lots of hats
Here’s my regular BBC East Midlands Today pantomime round-up. It was broadcast yesterday and features me at three different versions of Aladdin in Buxton, Leicester and Nottingham. There’s a running gag of me wearing different hats for every piece to camera. I also wear hats in all the noddy shots, including the head of a […]
The Chippendoubles sign up a Jeremy Nicholas lookey-likey
The Chippendoubles, stars of Britain’s Got Talent have unveiled their latest lookey-likey. It’s a very convincing Jeremy Nicholas, not quite as realistic as Mr T or Simon Cowell, but certainly a passable imitation of the real thing.
Hosting the Children in Need Stage
Tonight I compered the stage for the BBC Children in Need outside broadcast at East Midlands Airport. It was great fun for a brilliant cause. Well done to everyone who gave up their time and helped raise money for children who need our help. Here’s some pictures of the night. Here’s me with first world […]
Being Pudsey
My career has peaked. I’ve been in Pudsey on live TV.
