Making these videos will keep me sane. I've plenty of unseen footage, loads of topics concerning roach and an audience that is similarly house-bound so there should be plenty more to come.

IIRC Walker had a few big roach out of Temple Pool. This estate was marketed not so long ago; asking price £19M.
