Britain's longest commutes for me I reckon. Featured a geezer who used to travel to Glasgow from the Shetland islands every day for work, and a woman who used to take public transport from North London to Southampton for work, and managed to drop and pick up her kid from her parents in between. Belting TV Special mention to 'the strange name movie'. I've not actually watched it, but a former customer of mine once proudly told me he was on it. I can't for the life of me remember his name though.
Similar. Bus journey from East Riding to Hawes I think. No commentary, no interviews, just a couple of go-pros and roads. Beautiful. I was only channel hopping and ended up watching the entire thing.
I forgot to mention 'How to start your own country'. I loved it so much I bought the DVD, and applied to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Lovely.
In one of the later Adrian Mole books he, as a grown up obviously, becomes a celebrity chef on a minor cable channel presenting a programme called "Offaly Good". Unique and exciting ways of cooking offal. Yeccchhhh!
Jeremey Wade's River Monsters Loch Ness Monster special. First time I saw it I was knackered from jet lag so I assumed I'd imagined half of it, but a rewatch reminded me just how mad it is. There are two versions and the extended one is definitely the best. Jeremy starts out at Loch Ness saying he's caught fish all over the world, but the one he really wants to catch is the Loch Ness Monster. To find out what is in Loch Ness he is going to get a rod in (steady). He then proceeds to fish for the Loch Ness Monster but catches nowt but eels. To find out why he goes scuba diving to find the Loch Ness Monster. Having not found it, he goes downstream to a site where legend tells a young monk was accosted by a river creature centuries ago. Could it have been the monster? Better get another rod in. After not catching it again he goes further downstream to the sea, to find out if it could have been something from the sea that made its way upstream. After catching a ride on a trawler he sees some dolphins and proceeds to get his rod in and starts fishing for them. Then he goes to Iceland. The Icelandics have legends of loads of sea monsters, could one of those be the Loch Ness Monster? Probably. But he's not going to find out in Iceland, because that'd be daft, so he ends up on another fishing boat on a fjord in Norway fishing for the Loch Ness Monster, which turns out to have been a Greenland Shark. Case closed.
