That was a really irritating programme.

For one thing, they didn't fly over the summit of Mount Everest - they flew over a field a number of miles south of Everest and never intended to fly over Everest. They could have done the same thing in Norfolk!

And Fahrenheit!? Pounds!? Feet!?

This is a UK programme shown on a UK channel paid for by UK money! Can we have Celsius, kilograms and metres please!

And get rid of the irritating dramatic music.

Very irritating.. Bear "Motel Survivior" Grylls and Gilo "Won't ever need a giro" Gardozo.Part of the current Upper Class Twittery season on Ch4.Dear me what kind of engineer is that guy,forgetting to put antifreeze into an engine he is going to test in a minus 20 degree wind tunnel.That's elementary SVQ mechanics.Seems like he bottled it at about Angels 19000.Bear made Angels 2500+...almost bought it when he crashed into the village...lucky the natives didn't eat him.....jammy bounder!

Oh..I forgot to add this great quote from Bear when he's testing out the machine and he's flying above some field in the U.K.

"Why is the whole world not doing this,this is an amazing ,amazing privelege" (31:39-43 4oD media player)

Any comments?
