Has anyone else been watching James Cracknell, Ben Fogle and Ed (somebody) taking part in the race across Antarctica?
If so, has anyone any idea who has been filming them as they trot in supposed unsupported isolation across the frozen desert waste?

Friend of mine calls Fogle "Ben nice but dim".
I'm inclined to agree. Ooooooh! he does irritated me.
Saw the bit though where the bloke was spitting blood and generally in danger of losing his toes - that was nice and gory.

Ben Fogle isn't dim at all; considerably brighter than daft James Cracknell.
One of the people I went walking with knows him. She was most unsympathetic when I got blisters - they didn't get infected but rivalled James' in size. She just told me to keep the Compedes on (he kept peeling the off to inspect the wounds, silly boy) and shovel down some painkillers. Mindyou, I wouldn't have wanted to do that for more than a couple of days.
I hope Ben's poorly nose recovers, anyway.

Yes, I was watching that last week. Why on earth does any one put themselves through something so gruelling? I'd far sooner lie on my chaise fanning myself.
BTW, the other day my granddaughter's hair toggle came loose and to avoid losing it I wrapped it around my little finger. It wasn't until my finger started to turn a bluish white that I realised I'd cut off the blood circulation to it, so very quickly removed the toggle. What a near miss! That could have been very serious.
So I can quite understand how easy it is to lose one's toes.

as i understand it the camera crew freqwuently tease and taunt the ben fogles of this world as they have all the gourmet food, running hot and cold beverages and central heating flown in especially whilst ben fogle is forced to sleep in a dog basket with a polythene carrier bag to protect him from the elements whilst polar bears piss all over him in his sleep and vampires suck his heart out through a tiny pin pricked hole they made he never felt a thing cos of the cold.
