Any of his programmes I’ve got bored with, within a few minutes. I started to watch the electric bike thing up through America managed 2 episodes & didn’t bother. About the same charisma as Henry Cole!
I think Charley's dad was mates with Sean Connery - there's a reference to Connery being savaged by a bovine at the Boorman ranch in Eire, in Long Way Down as I recall.
A friend of mine knew him years ago when the Boormans were living in Wicklow. Excalibur was made around the townland of Roundwood in Co.Wicklow, you can do a tour and all that sort of thing. My mates recollection of him was he was a bit of a big-head. He was working as an apprentice fitter in the electricity supply board and used to commute on his BSA C15 (i think it was), and Boorman jr was a bit dismissive of his humble bike.
Ireland hadn't an arriss in its trousers back then, it was easy of him to be the "big I am", with a rich daddy to buy him toys.
