Part 2 Tonight at 8pm Channel 5!!!!

Loving the comments from the pious mongs on Pozzi!!!!! Touch of the green eyed monster perhaps?
In my view - program was good - kids were motivated - no disrespect shown and as The Gow knows - it takes balls to chuck yourself out of a Dak at 2000ft or whatever - These kids are manning up to a challenge - Just because we live this bloody daft hobby means we don't often appreciate that not everyone can kip in a zelt or shit in a hole. Lots of youngsters can't hack lighting a fire or brewing on a hexy..... Simply because no one ever showed them! Moral fibre is lacking because it is not encouraged...... I say good on the programme makers for getting this together - Yes those of us who've been involved in Telly know how they chop it and cheat etc. But it's making good telly and I for one want these kids to succeed.

The fact the lads (JFR6 and JOM) came across as pro is a bonus. Good advert for us boys..... keep it up. You have my tacit support.

Great blokes and very professional as always! **** the begrudgers!

[Hoffman Grink]

Watched part II - Lot of respect for those kids - and to the people who jumped the gun - Those kids showed more respect in 10 days - and learned so much more than some so called Living Historians have ever shown in 10 years!!!!

A good program - it had a message and it got it across.

Well done.
