Woodman (ATV Today)

Living rough with the 'Wild Man of Annesley', former commando Joe Archer.

Joe Archer is preparing for a quiet Christmas this year. Nothing unusual in that, but this man lives in a shack in the woods at Annesley in Nottinghamshire and he's been living rough since he was a boy! Some would call it a lonely existence but Joe likes it like that. Reporter Terry Lloyd sums up the gap between him and the rest of us: "It's not exactly the Ideal Homes Exhibition!"
