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?
The Sock

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

And where is everybody? Of the 10 threads on the first page of 'Around the Campfire' Susan or I submitted the last post on 6 of them. Is there some kind of holiday in the US?
The Sock

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.

Big Daddy,

I was talking about the Brit version, although I do enjoy the American one.

Blitz

I enjoy the BBC America channel, especially the mysteries, and Green Wing was good crazy fun. We've got about 250 channels here in TN and still nothing to watch.

Hi IzzyJG99



So I guess it takes nearly four times longer to flick through the channels on the remote whilst saying,

'Nope, rubbish, rubbish, what!, thats on again, nope, nope, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, OMG ,there still not selling Gazelle Freestylers are they, rubbish, rubbish, Aha Survivorman, Hmm I've seen this one twice already before but I can't be bothered changing the batteries on remote!!'

I started this thread and i had to look up what it was about. Don't worry, chatting about the telly is always good.
Ramsey is unbelievably obnoxious on english telly too.
OK I know it's all an act. But I still wish
George Foreman would go on Hells Kitchen. Go on Gordon; try swearing at Big George.
The Sock

>Yup, I have many Nightmares VR'd. Too bad they had to make Ramsey such a butthead here for the American one, I think it would have gone over better if he had been himself. I don't even know what the topic at hand is though.. hmm..
