What a great Character! 👍 I worked on Zardoz...and Excalibur when I was in my mid teens, My Dad had a Marquee Company and we did all of the location work in Ireland..I remember seeing Charlie on Set in Excalibur..he was a Young Mordred..I'd say maybe 10 years Old. WOW!! Great to see you did well Charlie 👏 ☘️🕶🇮🇪🇨🇦

My boyfriend and I ride Harley so someone recommended Long Way Up so we watched that one first. Now we are watching the first 2. So amazing and entertaining. Plus, while Ewan as Obiwan is cool, my very favorite movie of all times is Excalibur, so I was excited to learn Charlie was in that movie. Charlie is an inspiration to us all.

He is a lovely guy. Ten years as a painter and decorator after an exciting upbringing must have been hellish. He loves bikes so top chap and extremely interesting.

Whats hellish about painting its a handy indoor job for soft lads...behave..

The “hobbling” thing is no joke. Been riding for 16 years, and since I started ADV riding, I’ve broken 4 ribs, crushed an ankle, gotten a hope replacement, and am hobbling because my other hip is telling me I need another one…and I’m only 44!

Maybe you need a fookin' brain transplant.

[@ryanmalone2681]

@@fredforsythe8310 Maybe. Or maybe I just don’t ride like a pussy when I’m off-road. Maybe you could try growing a pair.

@@ryanmalone2681 No thanks seems balls drain brains. But being brain dead has its advantages it relieves you of having to think.

@@fredforsythe8310 That’s because you don’t have any. Trust me, both are possible In fact, both is pretty normal.

1:03:15 Sorry to hear about Charley's father John Boorman suffering from old age - his "Hope and Glory" is still one of my all-time favourite films.

I hope you're going to interview Lizbeth Beard soon.

I remember range anxiety when there were not many diesel pumps at garages so you had to plan your route where you could fill up.

[@maxflight777]

He’s lucky enough to have a beautiful wife and daughters ! What a fabulous life he has 👍 Best wishes Charley.

[@maxflight777]

Anyone who has met Charley knows he’s a lovely guy! Super interview! (There is a lot of negative stuff around… some people are pretty sick.. just jealous I guess)

[@AnthonyJoh]

Why is this host so rude?

[@duncanmil1]

If you'er not bussy being born your bussy crashing! :0 I'm a terribul dislecsic too!!

[@mullerdewet8931]

Awkward interview. Charlie takes over because all he can take in is himself

[@davesunderland1026]

Steve Parish, the rudest man ever to mount a motorbike, nothing good to say about anyone.

[@GPR111]

"I was Barry Sheene's best mate" - he should have that on his headstone. Soon.
