From The Guardian
He said he did something bold and his father, who was chopping wood at the time told him to put it on the chopping block.
His father brought down the axe, thinking the boy would pull his hand away but Dave, thinking his father would never chop off his finger left it there - and lost the finger from the first joint up.

I watched it and whilst I never followed Dave because in TV of yesteryear there were no subtitles so I never got his jokes. However, in tune with the other posters here I watched it last night and was disappointed - I would gather it didn't show him in a good light!!! The programme at the end sorta showed he had other talents ie artist blah blah - now that is just a small comment - others will have more to say I dare say.
