    yes that's my dad, fairly certain it's come up before.

    do I think he's 'famous' probably not in the tabloid sense of the word. but he does get 'spotted' whenever he's in the UK (it's happened lots when I've met up with him for beers) and at one point his show was the highest rated on the discovery home & leisure channel. if the economy hadn't have tanked after his second series I'm sure he'd be much more prevalent on tv than he is at the moment (there were plenty of meetings with the big 4 to do stuff on some very well known shows that sadly never came to fruition).

    To me (and him) he's just doing the same stuff he was doing before he lucked into a chance to film a couple of tv series. the guy on the screen is the guy he is in real life although he does seem to try not to talk with as gruff an essex accent as he normally does.

    to answer the person above Quest channel have bought the rights to his show now so you'll likely find him on there. sunday was 'salvager day' so not sure if they'll show them again so soon after but they'll definitely be on again.

    I'm a bit late to this but as soon as I saw that photo I knew it was you! You look exactly like your dad. You're definitely not the milkman's son...

    Love the Salvager and lucked onto seeing some episodes on Sunday, some of which I'd not seen before.

    Tell the old man from me he's tip top, HatBeard! He's got skills. 8)

    Loved the episodes in France too.
