Six films in which Chris Serle and Paul Heiney take it in turns to plunge In at the Deep End and learn the hard way about a completely new world.
Tonight Paul Hciney takes the reins to compete with the country's top horse drivers in a gruelling three-day event which includes a 15-mile cross-country marathon.
As a total newcomer to horses he is trained by top international driver, John Parker , who in only six months has to coach Paul in a sport which takes most people years to master.
Paul meets his childhood hero, Charlton Heston , who drove the famous chariot race in Ben Hur , and is advised by some of the top names in the horse world including HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, George Bowman and Harvey Smith. And in true competitive spirit he takes a bet with Lancashire nightclub owner, Joe Pullen , that he will beat him in the big event.
