Looks like he did it in Europe, where the history comes from.

I liked the show about the “Travelers,” too. He’s quite an unusual fellow.

The few comments I read of his show that he not arrogant about his run. Doing this to raise 200,000 pounds for charity is a noble accompliment. 30 miles or more a day for 43 days with 5 weeks of training is amazing. A real man.

Mr. Izzard wins the medal for "most implausible Nazi" for his role in Valkyrie.
Jeez, casting FAIL.

I thought he was good in that movie. But I liked the movie. He can play dramatic roles.
