Toby recently appeared in a BBC reality show with Richard Herring, Emma Kennedy and Kit Hesketh Harvey, amongst others, called the Other Boat Race. In essence, two teams of Oxford and Cambridge graduates were taught to row by a group of Olympic gold medallists and then competed against each other on the Boat Race course.
