Trainspotter Francis chases a childhood dream to become an astronaut.

A 2 parter.

Wasn’t sure how watchable it would be, but I’m really enjoying it smile

I had to switch over to the Scottish Symphony Orchestra to give my toes a chance to uncurl. Back on it now, and ready for karaoke...

Public seat on the vomit comet is only 8,600 dollars, what an experience, damm you Francis, you may have just cost me a lot of money.

I know the persona is fake but he comes across so well.

Good luck to him.

I'd assumed he was being him?

He is 100% that in real life, my company refurbishes alloy wheels for the company that did the engine swap for him, and so we did the wheels for him.

The name is fake, but I think the persona is mostly himself.

The dude who wears camera like a head torch and gets really excited by trains.

His real name is Luke Nicholson.He said he performs an exaggerated version of himself. He was more of an everyday lad before he created the character, along with his girlfriend.
I have enjoyed watching him for a few years and think he will become popular on tv.

If you find his original Instagram profile he is completely "normal".

Luke and Francis are like Rowan and Mr Bean both people who play characters.

It must be exhausting being Francis 24/7 when in public in case someone films him being Luke.

Can't stand the affected 'persona' and think it would wear very thin very quickly were he to be on TV regularly.

He's very convincing - I suppose it's an 'angle' but I'll not bother again.

I like what he does, but I think his persona/style works best in short format.

Is he some kind of online “content creator” type?
