Worcestershire-born creator Oobah Butler shares secrets on going viral and staying creative; in 2017, he tricked TripAdvisor reviewers to turn a garden shed in to London's highest-reviewed restaurant. The Feckenham filmmaker has gone from growing up on the Alcester Road with camcorder in hand to presenting on MTV, being at the helm of huge Channel 4 documentaries and having his ideas travel all over the globe. If you missed him on the show last week, we were featuring the Feckenham filmmaker who's gone from growing up on the Alcester Road with camcorder in hand, to presenting on MTV, being at the helm of big Channel 4 documentaries, and going well and truly viral. His projects in the years since are wild, wacky and push the boundaries. You can now find him pushing the next big thing, in New York City. On a rare visit back home from the Big Apple, he swings by for a natter with BBC Upload's Phillip Stoneman, talking about that big viral moment, how these crazy ideas come about, and how it all began for him in the cosy Worcestershire countryside.
