The driver had wandered off, so he thought, how hard can it be? Twenty miles later, he found out. The Extra Legendary Bit is the bonus episode where Johnny Vaughan and Gavin \"The Woodman\" Woods leave the history books behind and dive into the gloriously unhinged stories sent in by you, the listeners. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The Man Who Accidentally Stole a Train – A 1960s signal technician gets an empty locomotive rolling with zero training and absolutely no idea how to stop it. Land Rovers give chase. His response when they finally catch up is magnificent. The Tightest Man Who Ever Bought a House – Uncle Ray never spent a penny in his life. Same flat for 40 years. Fiver in every birthday card. Then the solicitor's letter arrived. The Ford Focus of Justice – Someone parks across Dave's driveway. Dave parks directly behind them and puts the football on. Three hours later, he delivers one line that ends the whole situation. 🎥 Watch the full episode now on the Bloomin' Legends YouTube channel!
