You are correct about the Athlete. Greg Rutherford - Olympic Gold medallist in the Long Jump in 2012. At the time of filming he was the reigning Olympic champion. There is another story from the same episode where Lee makes a joke about him playing in sand-pits.

I think Henning has lived here for a long time and the German accent helps make him seem naive , he gets our sense of humour and seems to have been a bit adventurous in his youth . Maybe not so many stories as Bob Mortimer but they are all weird and wonderful .I enjoy the intros , after all I've usually seen the clip .

In my experience it's mostly people outside our countries that use "Scandinavia". We mostly use "Nordic" since that is a much less limiting term that can and does include Finland, Iceland and the Faroes, and possibly Greenland. I for one almost never use "Scandinavia" or "Scandinavian" in normal everyday/regular speech. There's a reason our national anthem refers to "jag vill leva, jag vill dö i NORDEN" and not "Skandinavien"

What I love about this show is, in this case, despite Henning’s long and winding tale, the only thing he has to defend as what he is saying is the “truth” is what is written on the card. He can create a totally untrue story about "the truth”, but in the end it is whether the line on the card is true or not.

He's not hesitating to throw you off the scent. He's German. English isn't his first language. He's a) taking to think of the correct words to describe the experience and b) taking time to think because it happened back in the 90s, over twenty years ago, He probably has to think hard to remember back that far. I'm in my thirties and even I have trouble remembering stuff that happened then.

One reason content creators ask for comments is because of the KZbin algorithm. Videos that have more engagement(likes, comments, replies) get recommended more to others while those without get buried. It can make or break a channel. I think it's important for content creators to engage with their audience in the comments but I fully understand why they may be put off it because of the trolls and generally miserable people that go after them. They have every right and should protect their mental health. Being a public figure is a mixed bag. If I were a content creator, I'd run the comments through a filter or wait a day until comments have had likes/dislikes and engage those within the upper portion of the comment section and not even read those close to the bottom(that's usually where the troll/hateful comments end up after being disliked enough).
