The founder and director of Dartington’s Schumacher College is set to feature in a BBC documentary tonight (that’s Friday, diary frotters).

Indian-born Satish Kumar, who’s been a Jain monk since he was nine years old, has lived in Devon since 1973.

The programme, which will be screened at 8pm and repeated on Sunday (bloody repeats, etc), is about his walks across Dartmoor.

But Satish isn’t just a monk-cum-telly-star - he’s also an author. Look out for him signing and yapping about his latest tome at the Totnes Book Shop in Totnes High Street on February 12.

Blimey, getting up to ‘monk-y business’ must be something of a ‘habit’ for…. sniiiiiiiiiiiiip!!! That’s quite enough of that.
