By the time he’d strapped that sofa on I could have popped it on me head and walked it anywhere in Clit hero.

Brilliant. Laughed out loud when his trailer was heavier than the bike and he fell off.

He's a New York Yankees' fan. Don't make a hero out of him. He probably also supports Manure.

'Alfie' was the boyfriend of Jimmy Clitheroe's sister, in the Corner of Kid!

Great video. Keep it up Alfie.

Playing up to the Northern Simpleton stereotype! All they need to do is give him a whippet and a cap and we would have a full house!! “Mr Gimshaw! Mr Grimshaw!”

If that means a 'northern simpleton stereotype' is hard working, independent, friendly, caring, overcoming challenges, not wanting to be a burdon on family or state, all traits this lad shows, then I'm all for it.

No it means it's potraying someone who, from the short film, seems to be a modern day Norman Wisdom - falling off his tandem, eating a pie sandwich, speaking his home spun philosophy- not in itself a bad thing (though you do wonder about PLI and WCL) but many people were suspicious it was a spoof film rather than a factual representation..

You have to wonder about something where they get all of the camera angles just right. Like "Survivor", it's all staged.

The actual technicalities of the filming may well be staged, how unusual!!, but the character is totally genuine.
