[There was a fantastic TV Travel doc on BBC World a couple of years back where the two of them were travelling round Japan seeing some of the more interesting/cultural/offbeat (but not batshit mental) sights of the islands. Sadly, it was a four part series, and I was only in Riga for three nights.
I really wanted to see the last episode, but I discovered that weekend that BBC World cannot legally be viewed in the UK, as the channel is advertiser funded overseas and the BBC charter forbids its broadcast over here.]

(He's a really good bloke, DeeGee - Timpsons employ lots of ex offenders. AND promotes them.)

[He's the bloke who'll dry clean a suit for free if you're jobless and going for interview, isn't he? I know he and I wouldn't share viewpoints on many things that are important to me, but he's certainly got a social conscience.]
