If I can get him to BBQ something, over a fire using wood from a Sequoia, we could have Gusher doing the voice-overs, Joe Lindsay could present. The tension would be ramped up when
RAY tries to outrun the glazier, while eating a burger.
Baggy and myself would obviously have to tag along as creative directors.
This TV shyte is a breeze.

No no no Tender, you don't burn Sequoia, it's got the most fire resistant bark of any tree, incredible stuff full of sap, the wood inside is fibrous and feck all use for building or they would have been raised til the ground long since. The ability to survive fires which clear the forest floor and open their incredibly solid cones to release the seeds, plus the crap wood for building is how they have survived to grow for over 3500 years in some cases.

In Yosemite, there is a specimen call the Grizzly Giant which is just enormous & it's been estimated that each year it puts on the same volume of wood as is in a mature 60-foot pine tree every year. It's still a youngster at an estimated 1800 years old.

I feel I've been helped. It's a warm feeling deep down, just like dropping a spring roll onto yer wedding tackle whilst driving.
I was over at the UR shap this morning and Rodney had just finished his post match cool down.
