The Island -Bear Grylls

[Winder]

Good to see the Army Reserves sponsoring the ad break. Good possibilities with the Alpha male characters on the programme though.

Should be an interesting series, how many episodes is it?

They don't seem too switched on, wonder how they got this past the lawyers. I guess there must be a few satellite phones amongst them.

On catch up at the moment...looks good so far, although the police guy is a bit full on! He's trying to take control...and it doesn't seem to be happening!

He's very irritating!

What's that electric device they are wearing, some tracker/emergency system ?

I'd eat him first if food was scarce.

Struggling to get a fire going got some good camera batteries. short the buggers out. Jobs sorted

It might be worth trying the blokes glasses and the sun to start a fire.

[dfen5]

What a bunch. Best get them back to the chopper..

I'd have probably tried condensing water first, especially if it looked like no one was getting a fire going.

Intense sun and specs, should be no problem

Said much the same when they had the torches out in the night, two stick method is a pain in the bum at the best of times.

Ok, my list for the barbecue:

Call centre Stockport boy
Tony

[RealSquirrels]

i wonder if they can make a solar still.

they seem to be missing a bit, they must at least have those water purification tablets and some kind of filter.

i don't understand why they stopped in the middle of the jungle of the first night, didn't make sense not to walk to the beach?
looks like some brutal animal killings next week.

He's an irritating prick, first one asleep under a palm tree as soon as there is graft on.

The kid with Swastika tattoo is a right little turd, completely sackless. I've seen the Swastika in Asian art, but never incorporated into a star of David. I thought that was a particularly crass choice for a tattoo. Looked pretty new too.

The way it was edited just showed most of them lying around all day doing nothing. I'm sure it said there were 13 or 14 of them, yet there was only one group trying to make fire. It's been put together in the first episode to basically show how useless they all appear to be, maybe there'll be a miraculous change in the coming episodes.

I was reading the twitter feed at the same time, someone suggested drinking the sea water....... the human race is doomed.

Picture advertising it shows the bloke on the far left with a hook instead of a hand, unless I missed something pretty sure everyone had 2 hands at the start and that photo looks to be taken at the end, interesting!
