"Deadliest Catch" Back on Ch 4 This Saturday

[RubySlippers]

i like this series but... swoon?

they are very nutty brave

work incredibly hard in horrendous conditions

ok - some of the saltier old sea dogs don't do it for me, but some of the younger, hunkier ones do

Edgar or Sig?

it was on last night at 8pm on channel 4. First day of the season.

whats this?

Misdee - it is about king crab fishermen in The Bering Sea

Fox - did i miss it?! I thought it was on tonight

Sig for me since you ask Mouselady

Yes!

It was last night.

You didn't miss much. First day of the season. They had only just started to put the pots down and it's all changed and the fleet has been cut dramatically so not that many boats but the same quote of crab so I'm not sure it will be as dramatic or as interesting as before. We'll see.

Sig in fine form!

my dh is obsessed with this series, now it's c4 too!

I'm glad to see that guy, can't remember his name, got his captainship after all.

not sure about the swoon comment but I love the programme even though they are clearly lunatics.

thanks for the update fox

yes - they are lunatics Meglet, which is what makes the whole programme so utterly fascinating

I went to school with the voiceover guy. DH loves this & we watch it on Discovery, when I told him I knew the voiceover person I swear I went up in his estimation

Well you surprise me not. I'm an Edgar girl myself. Sig's too upfront for me.
I'm absolutely furious with myself today - I fell asleep last night and missed 95% of the show.
I wish C4 would bring back 'Faking It' - 'SAHM Mum from Croydon pretends to be crab fisherman in the Bering Sea'. That would be fun.

Am so glad to have found this thread.
Can't make my mind up between Edgar and Sig...but did you see Sig last night when he lost his temper? Frankly I was frightened and not in a good way!
