OUR GUY IN RUSSIA ON CHANNEL 4 FEATURES PRESENTER WITH BRIGG LINKS

Many Brigg people watched the first episode of an interesting new TV series presented by Guy Martin - called  Our Guy in Russia. It was shown on Channel 4 on Monday, July 16, 2018.
Guy was educated in Brigg and has business interests locally.
He made his name as a motorcycle racer, going on to present popular TV series in which the lorry mechanic shows his love of transport, travel and all things mechanical.
Some Brigg homes briefly lost their satellite connections around 9.15pm last Monday evening, due to thundery rain.
However, this was only for a few minutes and we were able to enjoy the rest of the programme in which he flew a Cold War fighter plane and met a group of Russian bikers said to be friendly with President Putin.

In the second episode to be screened on Channel 4 at 9pm on Monday, July 23, Our Guy will continue his travels across Russia, meeting more interesting people.
As Guy said in the initial programme, while taking in the sights of Moscow, he was standing 1,500 miles from Grimsby but with 4,000 stretching ahead  to reach the end of this vast country.
Episode two is well worth a look on Monday night, Brigg Blog suggests.
