Thanks - no, I've clearly heard him on something else good. Sometimes a good narration is helpful to the quality of a show (e.g. the old Horizon series) as much for the delivery style as the clarity of the info.

This mini series is definitely "proper".

I love Guys attitude and style. He's so likeable and down to earth.

That was quite something!

Just a shame there's not a few more episodes in the series.

I'm beginning to get a bit fustrated with Guy failing to prepare properly for just about all these 'challenges'.
No real training, the wrong bike, poor kit, but bks the size of spacehoppers to make up for it, not sure beating someone that wasn't actually trying to set a fast time is that much of a big thing, be interested to see how quick Team Sky could polish the trip off.

He cycled on a road through a Chinese desert about 340 miles, almost non stop in about 28 hours.

He's done all of Guy's show's narration I think now.

I know him from being a terrifying bad guy in Channel 4's Misfits.

Just checked his IMDb, and he's a very busy boy, so looks like he should be more familiar than this to me.
