The Philpott File: The File on: Cannonball Selby

on BBC Two England

A series of film reports by Trevor Philpott

Cannonball Selby is a coach driver. But he is very much more than that. He is a man who makes or breaks holidays. For his forty-four passengers, he's the man in control of the most precious week in the year. He's guide, adviser, mechanic, comedian, father confessor; and first, last, and all the time, Cannonball is a business man.
The Philpott File travels 1,000 miles with Cannonball - on one of his fun-filled trips from Leeds to Land's End - and finds that handling a forty-five-foot coach is one thing; but it's handling forty-four passengers, all after a good time, that needs the delicate touch.
