It's nice to know that you think I'm scum.
It's funny you mention the Daily Mail though as I see Grylls and The Mail performing the same function. Feeding nonsense to consumers. It's a shame some BCUK'ers actually like his shows.

How do you know if you've never watched them? It's a show, pure and simple (Born Survivor), entertainment, never meant to be serious docu's like RM's stuff.
Pity we are still discussing the same old old thing and it's a new show.
You just answered your own question. Why would I want to watch mindless entertainment?
Who said it was mindless? I never said that. And how do you know the new series is?
You make pretty sweeping statements without ever seeing it. It's like reviewing a book by just glancing at the picture on the front.
Yep, it's a shame that whenever someone well known is mentioned in a thread, be it Bear Grylls, Ray Mears, Dave Canterbury etc, that there are always some people that rather than discuss the OP feel the need to share their dislike of the person... I can only assume it's jealousy.
I would have watched it but don't have Sky or the like. I read Bear Gryll's biography and he seems like a genuine chap. A couple of friends have had dealings with him too and speak highly of him.

I thought it was rather good actually, by far his best programme yet
Agreed.
Just watched it...
It's only fair as someone who posted negatively about one of his programmes that I post when I have something positive to say.
The programme was a good recanting of several stories of ordinary people faced with extraordinary situations and how they survived - a good example of where not judging a book by its cover / poster holds true.
I think the names should be added to the swear filter. I'm really tired of people thinking we should care whether they like a certain TV programme or more to the point not like it. [EDIT] This does not mean I mind people discussing the programme - more enforcing whether we should or should not like it ourselves and then getting uptight when we disagree [/EDIT] It's frankly dull and boring. You may as well list your top 5 favourite vegetables and your bottom 5 and why.

Now here's the thing. I can't stand boiled or steamed broccoli, but roast broccoli is like seaweed from the Chinese takeaway. All the florets go really sweet.
