    Yea I have it recorded on my Sky box. Thought it was very impressive. The man is so enthusiastic about it, it's kinda creepy!

    The planning was so rigorous, you'd swear they were breaking into some place to rob it.

    All in all, the man is a looper :)

    i really liked how 70s some of the shots were, looking up from the street, also how emotional they got from just seeing him up there, really appreciating "art" almost

    He's so stereotypically French. Whenever I picture something Gallic, I see him in a stripey top and a beret cycling a little bike under the Eiffel Tower whilst carring a bageutte!
