He's finally made it up the Hovis hill! Child actor who pushed his bicycle up the cobbles in 1970s TV
Carl Barlow, 58, from East London, appeared in the iconic 1973 commercial at the age of 13 where he was seen struggling to push a bike up the steep hill to deliver bread. The advert, which depicts a northern industrial town but was actually shot on Gold Hill in Shaftebury, Dorset, has been voted as the nation's favourite TV commercial of all time. Mr Barlow, a retired firefighter, has now returned to 'Hovis Hill' to peddle up it non-stop using an electric bike.
