| | |  Robbie Coltrane's Incredible Britain - A new TV program
Robbie Coltrane, the man who plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter series, is going to work on a new TV show, called Robbie Coltrane's Incredible Britain. He basically travels the country, revealing what it's all about and the traditions in it.
One of his scheduled stops is actually Frogmoor in High Wycombe, where he will watch the town's new mayor, Cllr Val Razzaq, get "weighed-in."The outgoing mayor, Cllr Darren Hayday, will also be weighed. Old tradition, no?
Quote:
The tradition dates back to 1678 and was to ensure officials didn't gain weight at the expense of the public purse. The programme is currently in production and Robbie's road journey will see him travel between London and Glasgow, stopping at various areas along the way. The show is being produced by IWC Media.
John Clark, 67, town clerk of Wycombe's Charter Trustees, said:
Quote:
"I think it is excellent because Robbie is a very well-known chap and he speaks about things as they are. It should be a great programme and will in turn raise the profile of High Wycombe and the ancient traditions and customs which is superb."

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Somewhere between the waves of chavs and run down concrete jungles, there is a country worth remembering. Good on Robbie for doing this. I really hope he manages to promote Englands historical beauty well, and doesn't promote the idiotic image of today.
