This is rather strange,i remember this from a channel 4 documentary called Bangkok Bound ,in fact i have bought 4 of them myself,i do not have the one with this episode in yet though,but it is strange as trhis is a beeb prog.

Well, let's see - either (a) the BBC are lying and have superimposed their credits on someone else's programme in a cheap attempt to steal their glory and reap the benefits, or (b) you remember it wrongly, or (c) it is a conspiracy. I know what I think...

[Adrian Fiszer]

He's very similar to Keith Richards (Rolling Stones) and also has the same name and surname as me, and i'm also a guitarist ;)

That's positively spooky, guitarist Adrian Fisher! There's one way to check whether you are the same person - are you dead? If not, then you are not. But if you are, then you may be.

[Adrian Fiszer]

shame i'm still alive, but I see that we have similar way of playing ;) I also play a lot with slide guitar and luv asian girls xD

[HugoPortion]

Oh well, it could be worse, I suppose.

[Andrew James]

apologies, i was naively assuming you were Hugo Portion from birth and after I commented realised you were a radio star.

[Andrew James]

Great guitar player, sad that he died after this. Like Ollie halsall, fame did not beckon despite their abilities.Did you come to this through your interest in Sparks?

put "Bangkok Bound" in the search engine,you will see then. A whole series of these programmes NOT made by the BBC.I think there has been a mix up somewhere.
