Around the World in 80 Days

[Shay HTFC]

Is anybody else watching this Children in Need show?

I started off with extremely high hopes, but it seemed in the first two episodes that the presenters were just trying to get to the final destination without really enjoying the spirit of travelling and the route inbetween.

I thought tonights episode was excellent though. You can see with those two that they actually enjoy travelling, they like to learn a bit of the local lingo (rather than that Apprentice girl yapping away in screeching English to bemused locals) and seem to enjoy experiencing new cultures, people and places.

Watching them squeam whilst driving through the city traffic (forgot where it was) got a chuckle out of me and you could blatantly tell that the minibus driver had just bribed the cops, but the BBC had to just whisk over that fact

It's an absolute disgrace. All that CO2 emitted for a TV show, travel is the work of Satan yet we are expected to applaud rich/famous people for doing it... Utterly appalling and I shall be writing to the BBC at once..


Just kidding, but it really f**ks me off when eco warriors seem happy for this sort of thing to happen

She looks like she'd be utterly filthy as well. Which is nice.

She was on a 'Come Dine with Me' and give off similar vibes.
