I'm surprised that there's no thread on this. It's one of my favourite programs.

The first couple of weeks of this new series had some really interesting characters, especially last week's.

This chap, however, worries me.

He does seem rather unhinged.

Have you tried looking for a thread in the relevant section of the forums, i.e. the TV section?

I have only just noticed this programme is back! I am recording this weeks and I am hoping I can download the last couple. I found the last series really interesting.

He's a powderkeg, although I think that's why he lives where he does. Maybe he can control his urges, goes a bit feral in the Philippines. He clearly dislikes having to go back Stateside for a couple of months to earn.

Ben Fogle....

What a toff. Went to posh school and ate his baby food with a silver plated spoon.

Not sure why this guy invited a TV crew to his home, he's clearly not enjoying the experience.

You've strayed into the wild regions of General Discussion. You'll never get out now.

Hhmmmm.....the guy may have a 'plummy' accent but i wonder how many of his critics could even hold a candle to his incredible achievements of endurance.

None.

I think the difference about this guy is that in previous episodes, people have given up a life of luxury for a different way of living.

This guy seems to be looking for a life of luxury.

What's that got to do with anything? I'd like to see you do some of the things that this so-called "toff" as done. Protip: You couldn't!

Well maybe I could if I had a head start in life with the help of mummy and daddy's cash.

He can't help having well-off parents. His mum was a famous actress, not sure about his dad.

No amount of money gives you the fitness and mind needed to row the Atlantic......and that's just one he's done.

When you can do that.......then you can criticise.

His Father is a Veterinary Surgeon.

Right, so his parents are professional people, who have worked hard for their money. Admirable - I don't know why anyone see people like this as "toffs" - just inverted snobbery, I guess.

Maybe you could, if you actually wanted to do the things he's done, but I'm guessing you don't, you just want to have a go at him or talk about yourself.
If you want to have a pop at him start a thread in showbiz, you'll get some 'takers'

Anyway, anyone who's interested in the program want to throw in some links or a summary of what you're talking about.
'this guy, that guy' isn't much of a discussion.

Aye, big balls and a lot of backbone to do that.
A lot of self control to do it with Jame Cracknell(sp) without stoving his head in IMO.

I've loved this so far, missed last night's so will have to catch up.
I think Ben Fogle is great, he seems so at ease with different people. Last weeks Indian guy was lovely and they had a great rapport.
