Documentary series following Ben Fogle and James Cracknell as they set out on one of the world's toughest challenges - to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the other teams entering the race have spent two years planning, building and fine-tuning their boats for the race. With only two months until race start, Ben and James have everything to do, including building a boat, route planning and training, getting the qualifications that race organisers demand and teaching Ben to row.

I have friend who was in the mission atlantic (womens 4) boat. They all had one hell of a time with the weather.

Thanks very much RTKM! I will have to dig out some blank tapes and get the video recorder set correctly once again!

Yup, great telly, and virtually gay porn at 9:30 in the morning, what's not to like

Also a fan of Ben from Castaway days, I might try and get it on DVD actually.

oh no - did I miss it? I heard they were rowing in the buff. Ooh, I love a bit of posh Naked posh even

tribpot · 18/02/2006 14:18

They weren't actually in the buff (I think that might be going a bit too far for the Beeb at 9:30 a.m.) but mostly clad just in skintight shorts!

Bugsy2 · 18/02/2006 15:14

Yum, yum. All that tanned ripling flesh - so delicious. Could happily have either!!!!

doglover · 18/02/2006 15:44

Brilliant series. We all really enjoyed their heroic endeavours......incredibly brave!

Highlander · 19/02/2006 13:34

now, I hate beards but..........ooh, go on then boys

wilbur · 19/02/2006 13:35

I am very taken with James Cracknell's shoulders. Very, very taken indeed....

Catsnoise · 19/02/2006 13:41

I've met Ben Fogle - he wanted to interview me but I was too shy so he interviewed dh instead (this was for Countryfile). He is just as lovely in real life [swoon] - one of life's nice chaps.

Catsnoise · 19/02/2006 13:43
