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.

AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog · 18/12/2010 00:02

My DH loves it too Hmm

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 Grin we missed it Grin

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

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!!

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

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

AuntiePickleBottom · 18/12/2010 00:19

mad me mmm no lol

i find it intresting

backwardpossom · 18/12/2010 00:24

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 · 18/12/2010 00:25

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 · 18/12/2010 00:26

cece · 18/12/2010 00:27

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

backwardpossom · 18/12/2010 00:28

There should be a 'flame' smiley.

MangoTango · 18/12/2010 00:28

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

Mowiol · 18/12/2010 00:29

Mowiol · 18/12/2010 00:33

Mowiol · 18/12/2010 00:35

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

AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog · 18/12/2010 00:59

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 Grin
