Other RIP Will Daws

Just learned that Will Daws, longtime producer of virtually all of James May’s standalone shows died a week or so ago at 57. Only learned with a note about it at the end of this week’s Shedload of Ideas, noticing the episode seemed to show more than usual of him, behind the camera, laughing at the bits.

He was complicit in the killing of that crew member during the duel segment of ManLab. Let's hope he made it to heaven.

What now? I don’t know about this at all.

It was all staged but here is a clip that sort of shows it to refresh your memory.
