Did YOU ever get a medal from Jim?
Jum fixed it for me to tread grapes when I was 14 years old. The researcher took me all the way to Portugal by myself where I spent 4 days having the time of my life! Not only did I get to tread the grapes to make port but sailed a boat down the Douro, watched barrels being made, eat with a Portugese mayor and drant some 1825 vintage priceless port! I got another trip to London for the voice over and when we filmed the studio part it was a dream come true - lunch in the BBC canteen surrounded by loads of TV heros! I was given a case of vintage 77 port, and in 1997 we drank one bottle at my wedding, the other bottle is still stored safely. I have my Jim'll Fix it bade framed and in pride of place. I'm so glad the show is back on TV - well done Jim!
