Julian Berrendero's victory in the 1941 Vuelta a Espana was an extraordinary exercise in sporting redemption: the Spanish cyclist had just spent 18 months in Franco's concentration camps, punishment for expressing Republican sympathies during the civil war. Seventy-nine years later, perennially over-ambitious cyclo-adventurer Tim Moore developed a fascination with Berrendero's story, and having borrowed an old road bike with the great man's name plastered all over it, set off to retrace the 4,409-km route of his 1941 triumph - in the midst of a global pandemic.

Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn't really want to. Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela.

Racing old men on butchers' bikes and chased by cows, Moore soon resorts to standard race tactics - cheating and drugs - in a hilarious and moving tale of true adventure.

The notorious 1914 Giro d'Italia was an ordeal of 400-kilometre stages, cataclysmic night storms and relentless sabotage - all on a diet of raw eggs and red wine. Of the 81 who rolled out of Milan, only eight made it back. From the Alps to the Adriatic the pair relive the bike race in all its misery and glory, on an adventure that is by turns bold, beautiful and recklessly incompetent.

Tim Moore sets off to recreate the most appalling bike race of all time.

A book that tells the story of London since the thirties through the 28 streets, stations and utilities of the Monopoly board. In Do Not Pass Go Tim Moore fearlessly tackles the real thing and along the way tells the story of a game and the city that frames it. The stirring travelogue of one man's erratic progress around those 28 streets, stations and utilities, Do Not Pass Go is also an epic and lovingly researched history of London's wayward progress in the 66 years since the launch of the world's most popular board game.

In You are Awful, But I Love You, Tim Moore drives his Austin Maestro round all the places on our beloved island that nobody wants to go to – our most miserable towns, shonkiest hotels, scariest pubs, and silliest sea zoos. But as the soggy, decrepit quest unfolds he finds himself oddly smitten, and the result is a rousing, nostalgic celebration of mad, bad, brilliant Britain.

Was passiert, wenn ein Engländer, ausgestattet mit einer großen Portion britischen Humors, sein Herz und die Zügel in die Hand nimmt und sich mit einem französischen Esel auf heiliges spanisches Terrain begibt? Genau, der Esel ist störrisch, der Weg nach Santiago de Compostela lang, und Tim Moore findet in seinem Pilgerführer aus dem 12. Jahrhundert auch nicht immer die passenden Tipps. Dafür findet er etwas anderes: den Weg in sein eigenes Herz.

Welcome to Delusional and Dangerous… a show about all things wellness that the mainstream considers weird, crazy, out there, or simply made up. Delusional and dangerous are two words that we have been personally called when it comes to our understanding of health and lifestyle choices that cultivate true ancestral wellness which is ironic because the reality is quite the opposite. Our culture is flooded with ideas about what makes us well that are truly delusional and often dangerous. The result? Disease and disorders in physical and mental wellness are at an all time high… and ...
