The island with bear!

Never, ever.

Judge someone like Ray Mears, or Bear Grills by what you see on TV.

Just as you should never ever judge Dot Cotton or...., actually that's the only soap opera character I know....., by how the script writer portrays her, or how the editor changes the story up from the rushes (original footage) once the script writer would never recognised the original story they wrote.

YouTube is currently different, the talent are editing themselves. But beware, that will change and you are not going to notice.

I like that statement and it reflects a view that I have stated myself when the anti crew start showing themselves.

The new series started last night. I only caught it as I just finished watching Guy Martin and his wall of death.
The new series has birds and blokes on the island together, although dropped off at different points so neither group know the other is there.
Besides the normal teddy`s out the prams after they landed it seemed the same old nonsense as before.
The biggest shock for me was the doctor in the birds group finding a water source in what looked like a still muddy pool, it tasted of salt and smelt and tasted of eggs, yet she pronounced it fit to drink. They boiled it and had some, almost immediately they were gagging and soon after several fell ill.
Unfortunately the doctor didn`t seem to pinpoint the cause to the water which was nowhere near potable, instead she told the group to drink more to get rid of the sickness.
It`s a bit worrying that the person is probably a junior doctor in the nhs and yet cannot identify what is potable and what is stagnant water, a basic human requirement.
I consoled myself with the fact that when the junior doctors of the nhs next go on strike, they are probably saving lives by not being available to make diagnosis.

The recent season is pretty decent. I love the idea of the old vs the young. It just shows you the difference in attitude

they all have me shouting at the telly - they are supposed to have done a two week course yet have no grasp of any basics.

I blame the C4 thing years ago where all they did was sunbathe for a month. Bushcraft island or something like that produced by andy peters - who used to work with ed the duck IIRC
