theres not a single thing I’ve seen on the show yet that you cant do at home.
it's a lot harder to avoid other celebrities doing travel shows with their dad/dog/family/another celebrity though
Watched all three, decent enough entertainment, but I agree the sentiment above, lots of UK bashing.
The bit in Sweden when he was lakeside and eulogising about seeing kids being outdoors, well he could probably go to any sailing club in the UK and see kids taking part. A handful is not a representation of an entire population.
Also, I did find the whole, stress free life//ditch the watch message a bit repetitive. I think the two surf teachers were alluding to the younger generation having cars, probably wanting to travel, expand horizons etc. As soon as that is an aspiration, then it needs money, and that inevitably leads to needing work, which then is dictated to by others, unless you are very lucky. So yes, the old timers on that Greek island might be healthy, but they may have never had the desire to visit Paris, for example, and possibly have spent their entire life without a passport.
If nothing else, great tourist trapping television. Switzerland looked stunning.
@Snotrag would you mind putting it into a sentence please? not sure what bit to listen to
Its a while since i listened but basically when the Freddie incident happend, he said the BBC just went full silent treatment on him, which as it was his first time being an 'employee', he found really hard - they went hard radio silence, no support, no comms, and even when he offered to help with lots of the investigation/unravelling of what had gone wrong it was effectively blanked. I think Paddy was probably in the same position too. Eventually they seem to have realised that you can't just dump/blank an employee indefinitely and leave them with nothing to do - and thus here we are.
thanks - well summed up
@snotrag
Chris Harris was an 'employee' of Autocar before going freelance
Are you calling young Snotty a liar? 😉

Merely correcting a mistake I would say 😉
