Why is dom joly

Success really did come overnight. After the first episode aired, Joly was on a train when he heard a familiar ringtone, and someone down the carriage stood up and started bellowing theatrically into their handset.

Cue gales of laughter, and by the journey's end it had happened twice more. No-one realised he was there, but Joly realised that he had, in fact, made it. I think I'm a smart guy doing a stupid genre. Trigger Happy was not a travel show, but Joly tried very hard to make it one. For one sketch he visited a Swiss ski resort, erected a sign reading, 'Warning: Yeti', and then, inevitably, dressed up as one.

I told him it was a long story Trigger Happy ended after two seasons "I knocked it on the head too early — never make a decision just as you finish something" , and Joly could finally indulge his globetrotting full-time.

During a trip to the Congo, Joly found himself negotiating access to a lake with a group of villagers, and after a few drinks things took a turn for the ugly. But I was also thinking, 'I want to live'. It still wasn't the worst time he's had filming. The weekend in Chernobyl, Joly concedes, was not to her taste. Despite a cottage in the Cotswolds and two grown-up kids, stability still eludes Joly, but then again, he still isn't looking that hard.

Plenty of other things went wrong, like when Dom dressed up as the Grim Reaper, the joke being that Death has come knocking at your door, but the guy who answered was blind.

We were interviewing him and had a friend of ours start taking photographs midway through the interview. Ramsay was not impressed. A lot of hidden camera shows rely on humiliation and shock but the best bits of Trigger Happy were about being silly and surreal.

The big mobile simply allowed us to cause a scene. My memory is that we stole it from a display outside an electronics shop. We found this restaurant on the South Bank that would let us film during the middle of their lunch service. When Dom stood up and shouted at the top of his voice, everyone in every seat jumped. The adrenaline rush was fantastic.
