Have you seen his website? It's... awesome. I'm not sure where I put the URL; it was in a Grauniad blog yesterday.

Sadly, it seems that most of the YouTube clips showing him in action are not available for viewing in our country. But the few bits we could see, along with the website and commentary, are perhaps...more than enough.
The only TV watching we do anymore (which is very little) is online. For instance, we've been enjoying 'Clark and Michael':
