This episode of Explore, introduced by Lionel Birnie and Hannah Troop, features a man who was a fixture on British children's television in the late 1980s and 1990s – Timmy Mallett. The host of Wacaday, the Wide Awake Club and Mallett's Mallet, Timmy was never seen without his trademark colourful glasses and trusty sidekick, a large foam mallett. In 2018, he rode the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and he wrote about the very personal reason for making the trip in his book Utterly Brilliant, which is part travelogue, part memoir. Lionel caught up with him to ask him about his journey, what cycling means to him and why his brother Martin was one of the biggest inspirations in his life.
