Snail Racing on ITV Britain's Got Talent
24 April 2010

In September 2009 we were contacted by a research from Talkback Thames, the production company for Britain's Got Talent.  We were asked if Neil Riseborough, the racemaster of the World Snail Racing Championships, would like to enter the contest.  The video above shows Neil's performance which was broadcast on ITV on Saturday 24th April 2010.
