Robbie Coltrane's B Road Britain (2007)

Just how bonkers are the Brits, anyway? Funnyman Robbie Coltrane (Cracker, Ocean's Twelve, the Harry Potter films) finds out as he takes to his country's scenic back roads on a quest for the quintessentially eccentric. Along the way, he meets the most unusual folks imaginable: a modern-day teenage wing-walker, a cleric who ministers to motorcyclists, a man who pops wheelies on a 20-ton monster fire truck, and more. He also witnesses a massive rugby matchplayed with a beer keg, a scarecrow convention, and even an explosion or two. Sometimes Robbie joins the fun--for instance, when he enters the world's only dock pudding cooking contest. (Of course, he cheats. ) So climb into the passenger's seat of Robbie's classicJaguar roadster, relax, and experience a Britain that you'll never see on the traditional tourist tracks.
