Guy Martin’s Wall of Death: Live
Monday 28th March, 7.15 - 9.00 pm, Channel 4
"In this extraordinary live TV event, motorcycle racer, lorry mechanic and very British daredevil, Guy Martin, will be taking on his most daring and extreme world record attempt yet on the largest Wall of Death ever made.
The Wall of Death is an epic stunt that involves defying gravity: riding a motorcycle around a vertical wall at high speed. In this live show presented by Steve Jones, and in front of an audience, Guy will attempt to go faster and further than ever before, setting a new world record by scaling incredible new heights on an enormous wall that has been specially constructed from shipping containers.
The programme will also follow Guy’s training, which began over a year ago with his first rather clumsy attempts to ride a wall under the guidance of Britain’s finest Wall of Death rider, Ken Fox. Guy also learns about the science which makes both him and his bike stick to a vertical wall, from Cambridge University professor, Dr Hugh Hunt, and endures a punishing flight in a stunt plane with ex-fighter pilot, Mark Greenfield, where Guy gets to experience the massive G forces he’ll need to contend with.
Guy’s take on the show? “It’s the greatest idea anyone has ever had.”"
Gonna be good, as well as the F1 show this Thursday
