I'll definitely be watching this, let's hope he can teach us a thing or two! I wonder if they will cover 'freeganism'? (ie rummaging in bins? which BTW I would love to do should the opportunity come my way...) :)

    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Sounds interesting. I'm wondering if this is a one off show or if it will be a series as it appears to be on for only 30 minutes...perhap he didn't fair too well with the challenge? I'll try to remember to tune in though :-)
