The subject may not be something you’d normally turn the TV on for, but if you happen to be passing a TV set tomorrow evening (Thursday 16th August) and you have nothing better to do, you could tune in to Channel 4 for the programme The Restoration Man at 8 o’clock.

It’s a programme about the Bath Folly in Ormskirk, Lancashire (despite what the programme guides are promising, according to the producers), which has been heavily restored. One very sunny day last May the TV company made me walk up a hill in Brightling, Sussex, eight times spouting off about follies. The end result has been trimmed to 15 seconds so blink and you’ve missed me. I thought Andy Warhol promised me 15 minutes of fame, not 15 seconds?

Anyway, I have been assured that Heritage Ebooks will be getting an on-screen credit, so I shall stay hooked till the end.
