Baz's Culture Clash

Baz travels to Los Angeles, home to some of the most radical forms of alternative therapy. Baz visits a laughing yoga session, gets his shakras blown about and undergoes scream therapy, where he is encouraged to let loose using a punch bag and base-ball bat.

Baz goes into the world of the Freegans, a group of people who believe that the end of the capitalist system is nigh – and that total self reliance is the only way to go. Baz ends up building eco toilets, going bin raiding and hitting the by-roads of Britain with England’s most notorious consumer of road kill, who cooks up something special for supper.

Baz enters the world of the supernatural. In a seemingly haunted shopping centre in Carlow one of the production crew collapses after being overtaken by a strange presence. In Donegal Baz finds video evidence of UFO activity. And in a secret Wican ritual Baz is put under hypnosis and brought back to meet his Egyptian fore-fathers.

Baz delves into the fringes of the world of British celebrity, hangs out with a well-known pap who is on the trail of Guy Ritchie, and turns up at a celebrity look-a-like party where he hangs out with ‘Ricky Gervais’, ‘David Beckham’, ‘Samuel Jackson’, and ‘Marilyn Monroe’.

Baz travels to the United States where he hangs out with members of the new sexual revolution – The Silver Ring Thing, made famous by acts such as The Jonas Brothers. He’ll also be hanging out with of America’s hardest Hells Angels who have their own church, and heads down to a dangerous LA neighbourhood to hang out with a reformed gang member, Kun Chuz, who runs one of America’s first hip-hop churches.

Baz will be delving into the world of the Great British Eccentric, as Baz hangs out with Captain Beaney, from Britain’s most welfare dependent housing estates, and accompanies him to one of London’s poshest gentleman’s clubs to atttend The Great British Eccentric Awards.
