Is anyone watching a man starve and cry for an hour on channel 4 ??

"Alone In The Wild"

Boy, that man can cry

Am finding it curiously difficult to feel sorry for him though, he reminds me of some of these twattish partners on MN who have gone off to "find themselves"

Gah

yy and he is blaming it all on the porcupine's anus.

i know what happens....

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/09/2009 21:50

AnyFucker · 24/09/2009 21:50

why don't film crew give him some crisps?

Wags · 24/09/2009 21:56

DH is watching intensely, I just want someone to put him out of his bloody misery. DH did laugh when I read him out your crisp comment Fishie. He also just added 'wouldn't it be funny if the plane didn't start'!!

Just turned it on. There're buses and everything. How alone is he?

fishie · 24/09/2009 22:01

he doesn't seem to have any insight at all does he, he is so surprised it went differently to his expectation.

Habbibu · 24/09/2009 22:02

We watched him eat a cereal bar in various poses for about 30 seconds and got bored. Does anything else happen?

TeeteringOnTheEdge · 24/09/2009 22:03

Exactly. "Find himself" Twat.

I'd love a bit of a break like that. Imagine the peace...

MakemineaGandT · 24/09/2009 22:05

there wasn't a film crew, he filmed it himself

I thought it was quite good and I felt a bit sorry for him - more that his dream failed than anything else

AnyFucker · 24/09/2009 22:10

I was kinda hoping he got eaten by bears...

Then first two episodes were better. I enjoyed it.

fishie · 24/09/2009 22:11

how did he charge his batteries then?

i know he was really by himself, he wouldn't have been so crying otherwise. it was awfully quiet there.

ClaireDeLoon · 24/09/2009 22:13

He was very scared of bears wasn't he? Wuss. I mean I would be too so I just wouldn't go and live there. Not go there, live there and whinge about being scared of the bears.

LedodgyDailyMailstinksofpoo · 24/09/2009 22:16

Yes he did have a bear phobia I think but quite understandable given the circumstances. He was also quite obsessed with salmon.

AnyFucker · 24/09/2009 22:18

his voice was kinda hypnotic though, nice soft Scottish burr

I did enjoy it, as a background to MN

A load of old shite

I personally am sick to death of watching middle-aged men go off on road trips in order to 'test themselves' or fulfill some wanky boyhood adventure fantasy for the purpose of TV viewing pleasure

WHY? Get over yourselves!

AnyFucker · 24/09/2009 22:21

I still think the bears should have scoffed him

OP posts:
JonAndHateTheDailyMail · 24/09/2009 22:38

I think he has some sort of mental health or developmental problem. And he should never have (?had) been allowed to do this for other people's entertainment.

Couldn't stop watching though

ProfYaffle · 25/09/2009 17:30

Glad I found this thread. The first 2 episodes were ok, 3rd one with all the crying dull as shite, was about half an hour too long. The production crew must have been so pissed of with him.

said · 25/09/2009 17:49

He was absolutely rubbish at it wasn't he? He'd fish for about 10 minutes and then spend the rest of the time wondering why he had no food. When he was crying about his girlfriend I was hoping there'd be subliminal image of her shagging his best mate.

FuriousGeorge · 25/09/2009 21:54

He was a real wuss wasn't he? DH was watching and after a few minutes of the chap sobbing,I was begging him to turn over.Very tedious stuff-it IS aways men doing this shite too.

dogonpoints · 25/09/2009 22:15

lol - I caught the end of this last night and was riveted. Just how long could a person watch a man cry and look confused? A very long time, it transpired.
