I met John Craven once. True story.

I was 11. Don't know what age he was at the time.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Did you hit it off.

[chalice]

Seemed like a nice bloke.

He came to our school to do a report on The Troubles.

My mate was on TV and made an absolute cawk out of himself. I've never let him forget that.

[Mr JP Fugley]

My mate was on TV and made an absolute cawk out of himself.

With you being Irish that's actually a bit ambiguous.

[chalice]

By the power of Google I now estimate that he was around 44 at the time.

John Craven, like, not my mate.

[Mr JP Fugley]

What age was John Craven at the time.

[chalice]

23.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Pish, John Craven was never 23

[chalice]

The good old days.

When all the news was good and John Craven was a god amongst childrens' news reporters. This was 1982 and 23 must have seemed like a distant dream to poor John.

The career mausoleum that would be Countryphile was yet to be conceived.
