Miles Hunt of the band Wonder Stuff has reunited with a Carlisle family who helped him avoid appearing on Top of the Pops on 22 March 1994. The family's assistance earned them the description of 'getaway drivers' for their role in helping the rock star evade the television appearance.

The reunion took place following a search conducted by BBC Radio Cumbria. The two parties had not seen each other since the events of 1994, making this a reconnection spanning three decades.
