61/ THE BIG PINK DRESS
Episode 61
Episode 61 features a larger than life character in Colin Burgin Plews, better known in fundraising and running circles as the Big Pink Dress.
He tells us how he was a shy lad as a youngster but found a talent for running in the Navy and went on to don his iconic outfit at races from the Great North Run to the London Marathon.
We hear about how he was influenced by Diana Ross to ditch the Hawaiian shorts, met Nancy Sinatra in the green room and got confused counting rhinos. There's the spark which got him started and the inspiring individuals who keep him going on the road. Meanwhile Kenneth shows off on the dancefloor and James worries about beetles.
