this was on Channel 4 9pm monday night, anyone watch it?

i did I thought it was good.

As usual the obligatory Glaswegian Heroin addict was there.

If theres a glaswegian in it he has to be a drunk or a smack addict or a mass murdering wife beater.

they were only there for an hour! My mum could do that!

What a wonderfull childhood I had, I really did.

Have to say i was dissapointed by the glasgow guy leaving, should have been a walk in the park for him.

yeah he looked the fittest of the lot.

plus in the sand, it seemed they were buried in a seated position instead of upright! even tho he told them to dig a hole deep enough for it.

Aye glasgow boy was the only one who match the pace of the captain.

yep I noticed that as well! so did amber.

I would have made sure it was dug deep enough.

I got buried like that once by my dad who thought it was funny to let the tide lap around my head in dunnet bay beach up near thurso. Survived that, pretty sure I can manage a few hours in the desert sand!

Only thing that would bother me is being there overnight and having no ability to protect the back of my head, a scorpion/snake/whatever round the fronts alright cos I can eat it then.
