Yeh. I was amused last night when one of the fishermen spoke in his east coast Scottish accent and they put subtitles below him.

ollyit · 01 August 2006, 10:04

yeah he hada a strong accent eh

I thought 'Trawlermen' was excellent. I have always wondered about what happens when a net gets snagged on the seabed.

Well done BBC.

ollyit · 01 August 2006, 10:08

yeah cost them like 30k to loose a net sumthing

- looking 4ward to 2nites programme

I thought it was a good program, but reading the radio times it had a right slating giving the impression that it was very dull.

ollyit · 01 August 2006, 10:21

thats a shame, i would never call it dull - i spose it would mean more to us boating peeps when we see seas as big as them

The reason why it is so dull is there arent teams of people buying antique fishing crap at a car boot sale then getting voted off, only to be interviewed during which we are gripped with a seemingly endless stream of utter banalities and non events.

At last a programme featuring real life no doubt a sector of society will now be in trauma and shock as there is no number to text away a whole splodge of cash to. MSM IM will support them I'm sure.

'Crackin show, look forward to this evening and the 'big' waves

Kernow Buoy · 01 August 2006, 15:27

Don't forget the Penlee lifeboat disater is on tonight BBC1 10.35

richkid · 01 August 2006, 18:59

I Think The Trawlermen Is Out Of This World !!! Wot A Hard Life But Good Fun If You Can Cope With Out Sleep ?? . The Penlee Will Be A Reminder Of How Dangerous It Can Be Out There !!!!!!

codprawn · 01 August 2006, 22:17

But of course being a crab fisherman off Alaska is the "most dangerous job in the world"!!! Maybe the Discovery Channel should show this in the USA......

I did like the comment at the end about subtitling Eastenders, I'm more for clearing it off all together onto a channel with Bargain Hunt, Jez Kyle and Big Brother - to "24 Hour-A-Day-Claptrap"
