Interviewer and Ron Obvious in “Untitled”

Ron, now let's just get this quite clear - you're intending to jump across the English Channel?

Oh yes, that is correct, yes.

And, er, just how far is that?

Oh, well it's 26 miles from here to Calais.

And that's to the beach of Calais?

Well, no, no, provided I get a good lift off and maybe a gust of breeze over the French coast, I shall be jumping into the centre of Calais itself. [Shows brief clip of some Frenchmen in Calais standing under a sign that says "Fin de Cross Channel Jump"]

Ron are you using any special techniques to jump this great distance?

Oh no, no. I shall be using an ordinary two-footed jump, er, straight up in the air and across the Channel.

I see. Er, Ron, what is the furthest distance that you've jumped, er, so far?

Er, oh, eleven foot six inches at Motspur Park on July 22nd. Er, but I have done nearly twelve feet unofficially.
