1976: The 4-YEAR-OLD STUNTMAN | Nationwide | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive

David is not your typical boy of four. He doesn’t start school for another year, but he has already mastered riding a tiny motorbike through a flaming hoop. Say hello to the world’s youngest stunt motorcyclist. David is learning at the knee of his veteran stuntman father, Ken Watts. Ken is certain of two things – that he personally is better than Evel Knievel, and that David has a glowing future ahead of him Join the father and son team as, for the first time, David joins Ken in his big show-stopper finale – strapping 12 lbs of explosives to himself and igniting them as he lies in a wooden box. NB: Under no circumstances try any of the feats in this film at home. Not the cutting down of trees with a chainsaw, the riding of motorbikes through flames, nor the blowing yourself up in a box.
