Mutiny

[robfosters]

anyone watching this tonight on Ch4, 9pm?

I know it's officially a reality show, but it sounds good. 9 men have to recreate the 4000 mile journey across the South Pacific that Captain Bligh took in a rowing boat when he was cast off from the Bounty.

I love the mutiny in the bounty stories, so this should be brilliant if they are truly left to their own devices like the original crew was.

Enjoyed it but they are not totally isolated its obvious there's a distant support crew offering minimal assistance ,either way I wouldn't want to be in that boat no matter how much respect I have for Ex SAS Ant the captain lol

Yeah there is most probably an assistance boat but even with their life preservers, it must still be utterly terrifying and quite dangerous to go overboard in one of those night time storms they go through. Sod that for a game of toy soldiers.

That blokes hands looked like were about to drop off

One also wonders if the natives would have been so friendly towards Bligh and his men.
