Tonight from BBC North East The Hobby Horses of George Bowman
GEORGE BOWMAN is a Cumbrian businessman who appropriately was born in a coaching town - Penrith - where he still lives.
Scrap is his business, but horses are his hobby and as he freely admits ' it's a hobby gone wild.' In one of Britain's youngest competitive sports - four-in-hand driving - he has won the British championship three years in succession and earned the respect and admiration of his fellow competitors, including his most famous ' rival ', The Duke of Edinburgh.
Tonight Network looks at the hobby and the sport, with comments from Prince Philip on the technique and outstanding ability that could make George Bowman a future World Champion. Narrated by JAKE KELLY
