If you have Sky TV, check out “Expedition to The Edge”. It’s on DMAX and available to download. A group of people trying to sail a slightly decrepit but large ferrocement sailing boat.
Holy jaysus, I'm 15 mins into this and I'm not sure me nerves will be able for the whole thing!
Prada ad on TV over the weekend. Yer man is doing well too sail that thing on his own
SailGP from Australia on this weekend - being shown multiple times on Sky Sports Mix.
Despite myself, I've gotten quite into it - with 8 boats per race, it's a lot more exciting than the AC!
Hanging in watching this, but you'd have to be putting money at this stage on them being the boat that sank!!
(No spoilers please!!)
The whole set-up and boat reminds me of nothing more than weeks spent doing dinghy courses years ago with Les Glenans on the base in Clew Bay - not quite the same level of jeopardy though 🤣
Yer man is definitely going to end up as one of these cult leaders
Either that, or stabbed by his crew!
I love the subversive cookouts below decks - I'd hate to be sleeping in those cabins after 9 months of secretly frying fish and eggs 🤢
Great crash action on day 1!!
Ben Ainsley lucky he didn't injure or kill someone. He's fairly done for Team UK's chances....
Maiden is now on Netflix.
Looks interesting " expedition to the edge" on Discovery 3rd of July
That was on some other channel a while back - bonkers stuff!!
First episode last night....interesting (to see if they all come out alive!!!).
This promo just showed up in youtube. Hope it,ll be on Netflix here.
Is it just me, or is the audio in that video of a guy asking Carol if she ate his yogurt again?
I got as far as farting in the yoghurt, and thankfully the audio stopped. Too early for that nonsense.
Untold : The Race of the Century is on Netflix. 1983 America's Cup.
It's very good.
Oh I shall be watching this.........
Herself will probably not be impressed though...
Watched it. Couldn't wait.
Brilliant. Really well done.
This just about qualifies, The Onedin Line is back on TPTV on Sunday and Wednesday evenings @ 9 - available free to anyone with a satellite receiver or on a computer @ tptvencore.co.uk - free registration for UK and Ireland
From the RTE archives
I saw how long it was and thought gosh they dragged this one out. Nope! I was glued to it. Fascinating stuff.
Going by the reviews here it looks like I'll have to renew my Netflix subscription
I've only just cancelled mine 🙄😭
Watched it over the weekend. Really good/riveting!
Great show alright. I read John Bertrand’s book Born to Win years ago and it’s a great story
1....
Finally gotten around to watching Untold. Dennis Conners doesn't look healthy and has really aged
Next Tuesday evening at 21:35 (August 6th) RTÉ are showing 'Around My Island' which appears to be a doc about Tom Dolan (and possibly his attempt at the Round Ireland speed record?), didn't catch the full ad, but will be worth a watch I'm sure.
