It's got to be Tim Vine. Walking through stations at midnight eating baguettes is exactly the sort of thing he's known for.

Re: Guess who...
I'll give you a free clue instead.
He has a beard.
If that doesn't cause a sudden spark in interest, I don't know what will.

My kids and I love Dave Gorman - he manages to be a geek and a comedian. We follow his stuff on the telly, and occasionally radio 4 stuff too.
We went to see him live on his bicycle tour a couple of years ago, where he cycled between each gig. Eldest son couldn't make it due to illness, and even though Dave was understandably knackered, he signed a longish personal message to him in the book signing after the gig. Top quality bloke.
