I'm trying to find a TV series or documentary that featured a group of yuppie types playing at survival up in Scotland based around John Ridgway's adventure school up at Ardmore. I believe from the 80's?
Can anyone recall this series/documentary?
It wasn't "castaway 2000" or whatever that was called by the way
The only two bits I recall, are the arrival of the coach with Ridgway reciting Vitae Lampada by Sir Henry John Newbolt and one of the obviously carefully chosen "candidates" moaning an awful lot.
The sand of the desert is sodden red,
Red with the wreck of a sqare that broke;
The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And England's far, and Honour a name,But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:"Play up! play up! and play the game!"
Anybody?
Cheers
Steve
