Up till 1982 we had only 3 channels. now we are like you '200 channels and nothing on!' :-)
Interesting documentary; they survived by breaking rule number 1.
Two of them didn't stay with the plane and reached help.

Does it have a title?

There was a movie called 'Sands of the Kalahari' (1965), about a plane crash.

Called 'Crashed in the Desert'. It was made for tv by the look of, it but still had excellent graphics. The Channel 4 web site has more on it they said
By the way Susan when you told the chap looking to remove mildew to 'try sunshine' is that a brand name?

Yes, it's the Sol brand. None of the others are strong enough.

Actually we only got the 4th channel in 82. it was the 90s before we had a fifth. Don't know if we really have 200. Think it would be more like 60...
725? are there actually enough good programmes to fill them. Our best stuff is american.

Where? We are in the Arizona desert, right now putting up with 40mph winds and lots of dust. Can't get any UK tv channels, so I didn't feel the need to comment. No offense. As for the other threads, our aircard only works part of the time, we are in a very poor cell service area. So we can not get online all of the time...

Two men go in search of help and almost die. They reach help. Everyone survives, including the woman who was the worst off.

We watch BBC America sometimes, "Kitchen Nightmares" w/Ramsey and "Last Restaurant Standing".

Oh yeah, I grew up with "Benny Hill". My Dad I and would watch that show religiously.
