to *hate* Ice Road Truckers or are there worse programmes out there?

[Mowiol]

It's so teeeedious ...... and DH records it.... for crying out loud!!
Is there a worse programme??? Personally I doubt it as it's essentially the same story every episode.....
Driver .. "OOOH look, there's ice, better be careful!!"

Then endless re-caps of what the drivers have said/done/encountered.

[canyou]

Wheeler dealer, Booze Britain, Cops, lake escapes, Cash in the attic

[canyou]

Oh and what is that one about the fishermen in the icy seas

[usualsuspect]

Dog the bounty hunter

[AuntiePickleBottom]

yabu, i love watching this.

[AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog]

My DH loves it too

I could watch one series of it, but talk about repetative on any more.

They've just had one where they're in India, unfortunately we missed it

The lass in it has got balls as big as westminster abbey though.

[Mowiol]

AuntyPickleBottom - you do know you're mad don't you???
canyou - "Trawlermen" - I get the accents being Scottish etc..... BUT, it's tedious!! I DO apprecaite how dangerous it is being a trawlerman, I really do, and I appreciate the fish I eat, but c'mon!!

[cece]

Ice Road Truckers is marvellous - I won't hear a word said against it.

How about Axe Men? (or whatever it was called)

[AuntiePickleBottom]

mad me mmm no lol

i find it intresting

[backwardpossom]

Oh I love Trawlermen (but then, I know quite a few of the lads that are filmed - I live quite near the Broch, so it's funny for me to watch them).

[Mowiol]

Oh Gawd.... don't get me started on Axe Men!!! Utterly, utterly awful. If I hear any more about "yarders" I'll die!!
Or those swamp loggers.... WTF??

[AuntiePickleBottom]

much better than corrie imo (awaits flaming )

[cece]

Those loggers on the boat that were after the rare wood that had been underwater for 50 years crack me up. Sooo funny!

[backwardpossom]

flames Auntie

There should be a 'flame' smiley.

[MangoTango]

I love ice road truckers and the fisherman one and the Eddie Stobart one.

[Mowiol]

AngelZigzag.... psst...I won't be telling DH about the Indian one then!!

[cece]

what's the indian one called?

Indian road truckers??? Want to iplayer it!

[Mowiol]

.... well, I don't watch corrie either.

(actually I will admit to watching the Omnibus to find out who died....Ashley, WTF?? ... he was so lovely).....harrumph ... me, watch Corrie?.... never!!

[Mowiol]

cece .... don't think it's BBC for Ice Road... so no iPlayer?? That's only BBC right??

[cece]

Oh I didn't know that! Dam history channel isn't on freeview, so won't be able to watch it...

[BitOfFun]

Shiney loves it. She only watches that and Xfactor.

[Mowiol]

Hehehehe... what a shame!

[LaraJade]

YABU, my dad loves ice road truckers. It's Corrie for men.

[AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog]

It was called IRT Dealdiest Roads, easy to miss.

I could have probably put up with watching it as a one off, DH wasn't too happy about me expressing my personal opinion that I found it boring as fuck after the first series, so I thought I'd make amends putting a reminder in for him.

So it turned out to be a win-win situation
