Documentary Goes Horrible Wrong
In this episode, Damon runs a show called "Living With Them" where he visits people across the world of all cultures and ethnicities in order to broaden his horizons as he has been described as an "arrogant, pompous, ignorant buffoon". However, he ends up meeting people who are the creepiest dregs of human society such as a man who claims to shoot jackal, a pagan who ends up killing him and, of course, the Photosynthesis Guy.

The Photosynthesis Guy appears in the opening sequence of the show. During the intro, whilst Damon is explaining the show's premise, we see clips from what are presumed to be previous episodes. We see Damon ask the Photosynthesis Guy what he does for food to which he replies "I photosynthesise" in a very camp manner. We later see him stood against a wall breathing heavily. He begins to breath faster and faster until he explodes. We hear a loud explosion and Damon runs off. His death is not seen but he had little chance of surviving.

Style and Appearance
The Photosynthesis Gy has a very strange fashion sense. He wears a blue checkered shirt and green parka with thick rimmed glasses and a backwards "bobby" hat. He aslo has grey tattered hair. His appearance suggests that he is not mentally stable.

Characteristics
The Photosynthesis Guy acts rather camp when he talks to Damon and he smiles a lot. However, when undergoing the act of photosynthesis he becomes very focused and breathes heavily. It is highly doubted that he can actually pbotosynthesise and remains a mystery how he survived as long as he did.
