Z4 Beemer · 07-25-2007, 02:32 PM

Tonight (Wed 25th) at 8pm... might be worth watching.

RockIt · 07-25-2007, 02:35 PM

Cheers for the heads up

mjh93sa · 07-25-2007, 04:04 PM

Yep, Heroes is very good. Have watched all of season 1 now thanks to our good-natured American cousins who upload everything using bittorrent.

ES-Jet · 07-26-2007, 02:24 AM

Heroes is excellent. I watched season 1 on the Sci-fi channel.

The Top Gear special was very entertaining. I liked the toilet seat attached to the back of the truck.

it's already downloading

Ragman · 07-26-2007, 02:47 AM

Fantastic bit of advertising for Toyota?

I know Jezza and the crew already had deep respect for the Hilux, are we going to see him try to kill this one?

peterg1965 · 07-26-2007, 03:19 AM

Very very funny. The sight of James May sat on a bog seat attached to a Hilux being driven by JC in the middle of the Polar ice pack (twice) was priceless.

I assume they were 'airlifted' back to civilisation with the Toyotas........

NathanJT · 07-26-2007, 03:21 AM

I have to admit the bit where they were driving along with a nice cold G 'n' T had me rolling on the floor laughing. As did the "Loooooook, it's so SMOOOOOTH!" comment from JC where they emerged from the ice boulder field!

DervFan · 07-26-2007, 05:06 AM

Was very entertaining.

Liked the bit when JM whipped out a bottle of wine and JC said "the man has brought Wine, Wine and all we've had to survive on is... GIN!"

330cdsport · 07-26-2007, 07:12 AM

Missed it last night :mad: but it's already available via bittorrent

Will watch it tonite hopefully.

With all the recent TV scandals around premium phone line voting, supposed tough guys taking on the wilderness whilst sleeping in hotels, and celebrity chefs pretending to catch fish with a spear, how much of this show is to be believed? Not that the Beeb would mislead us or anything...

rjs · 07-26-2007, 11:35 AM

I take most of the things they do with a hefty pinch of salt. It's an entertainment prog, not a documentary

Still good though

dxb335d · 07-26-2007, 12:00 PM

bloody missed it
