Channel 5, Friday 8pm. Probably on Five OD at some point in the next few hours.

Did anyone else watch this, it had a lot of the false sense of peril that made Ice Road Truckers popular:

"Later, A driver faces his worst nightmare!"
Armed truck thieves?

Pedantic man from the DVLA/VOSA?

Zombie prostitutes back for revenge?

No, traffic. ON THE M25!!!111!!!!! DUN! DUN! DUUUUUUUUUN!!!!

It wasn't all cheesey, if you are as immature as I am, it was full of double entendres many well dressed driver "dropped their load" and one tanker driver even "Emptied his load". Next week, token woman driver even says "I'm going to have a creamy mess in the back"

Having driven said trucks I can confirm that no matter what the colour and livery of your truck it's a dull, tedious, thankless job. Interspersed with times of utter, utter mind crushingly life sapping moments of waiting around to be unloaded/loaded by equally dull miserable shunters. sleep
A lot of jobs are dull, tedious and thankless. Fixing some ungrateful 's car, for example. shoot
