Yep that was him. He seemed quite knowledgeable, VERY rushed though, trying to cram the whole course into about 3 hours, I think.

From personal experience, Chris Dwyer's lectures are the best, but are probably placed on the basic level. He is a lot more useful for unit 3 than unit 4.

If you want high quality hardcore stuff, I find NEAP chemistry to be fairly good.

is NEAP better than TSFX? I'm deciding between the 2

I've never been to TSFX, so I can't judge between the two, but I have to say I did find NEAP fairly good. But then in the lecture, I just did the practice questions at the back, and went up to the lecturers about anything I couldn't do. There wasn't much listening involved (except when my friend alerted me to something she didn't like, incidentally she got 49, so listening does't hurt either).

I went to the VU lecture with a couple of friends. Neale Peters was a theory beast. Talks so much about the theory and not much explaining questions haha. I wouldn't mind having him as a teacher though, considering how much talking he does, i'm sure that you would learn so so much from him.

I was considering TSFX lectures, but considering that their free lectures totally sucked, i don't think i'll ever step back into it.
