In the Bath by Tim Fitzhingham – see the promo trailer here
The second book of this week was a true story – albeit a silly one. Tim Fitzhingham (a stand up comedian and Flanders and Swann peformer) decided to row across the channel for Sports Relief in a bath tub.
However the silly bit of the bet was where a friend bet him a pint that he could row the bath from Dover to Tower Bridge. As you might guess it turned out to be a very big challenge – albeit eventually worth it.
The book is great very funny and full of interesting people, events and bath facts at the end.
I’ve seen Tim Fitzhingham in stand up plus doing Flanders and Swann so was keen to read the book and wasn’t disappointed. It’s an eccentric Englishman at his best!
