The Philpott File: The File on Cannonball Selby

on BBC One London

A documentary from the series featuring 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 44 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 found that handling a 36-foot coach was one thing; but handling 44 passengers, all after a good time, needed the really delicate touch.
