It gets proper wild in the south. Sometimes we have drizzle.

Not to mention the Jus.

There you go then.
Looks like a AWD system rather than permanent 4x4.

Cheers for that.

Perhaps for the TV, but what a decent fellow the RAC chap in the car park seemed. How much is this show worth in advertising to the RAC?!

Anyone watching?

Just finished watching on +1. Find the narrator dramatises everything but still an enjoyable programme.

This series is repeating on 5☆ this week. Quite entertaining, but why do they have to tell us the ages of all the guys they're filming? "Dave, 42, has been driving ploughs for 4 years. 41 year old Mark..." etc. It's like it's been written by a Daily Mail journo.

[Eric Mc]

Nah - if was the DM they would have told us the value of the house he lives in.

[Laurel Green]

A new series starts next Monday at 8 o'clock.

[andym1603]

Seen the trailers, set the reminder. Hopefully it will be just as entertaining as previous.

[Laurel Green]

Heads up.

A nice start to WRR - helicopter rescue of crew on a ship.

Agreed - it's even worse than John Thompson on Police Interceptors.

Did he call traffic cones "Emergency Traffic Management"?

Reminds me of the Daily Express standard of 'journalism'... you can tell what part of the narrators script are in UPPER CASE.

As in:

"It's raining a bit. TERROR and CHAOS on the roads!!"

[SeeFive]

Had to switch off with the over dramatic and inaccurate narration.

Clearly taken a lesson from the makers of similar dross in America. Shame, could have been interesting.

20 mins of footage.
How many times did they loop driving past that pile up ffs

Yes, my thoughts too. Spoilt with the silly dramatisation and ridiculous comments.

Just filter out the dramatisation and wonder at the stupidity of people. Jaywick, council, plus people wanting to take storm selfies.

"Don't stand there, it's not safe.."

"You can't stop all of us. "

They should be prosecuted for endangerment to themselves and others.

This is real edge of the seat stuff.
Will Simon get his rac van to the lady with a puncture before she is killed in a 50 car pile up ?

Will the 2" of snow cause the country to grind to a halt ?

[Laurel Green]

It was gritting stuff!
