Ch 4 Cutting Edge Documentary - 23rd Oct 2009

Channel 4 are going to show the documentary about my voyage called "The schoolboy who sailed around the world" on 5th November at 9pm. I have seen it almost finished and I think Adam the Director has done a great job.

In it, I had asked whether it would be made available for purchase on DVD, and empha 01/11/2009 16:56:03 Natalie : Hi Mike, I just had to leave you a comment.
