Well that was a complete waste of half an hour!
I reckon those biscuits were planted by the producer, as as for spending 15 minutes on the internet and finding a complete stranger who lived within walking distance of where he was, and who was willing to give him a home for a few day.

Well, Geordie Joe, good to hear that it was not good watching, as I was gently hitting my head against the wall for having missed it just because I kept faffing here on the computer instead of going downstair to join the family!Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0
