Three Men Go to Scotland - Redbay advert

Siochair · 27 December 2010, 20:11

Is it just me or does anyone else think the Redbay driver deserves a pint?

willk · 27 December 2010, 20:13

Always.

But what for in this case? (or do I mean "What advert?")

I do, but I also thought that the Rdebay was meant to be a dry ride?
I have to say that is still one of the locations I want to take my own RIB, in my top 20 things to do before I go "downstairs"

Sorry Wilk but your really needed to have seen the program. Essentially during a drive through the corryvreckan it was artfully arranged for the three intrepid reporters to get a wee drenching.

Oh, I geddit now - there was a TV prog. called 3 men goto etc?

Sorry, I don't have a TV. Oops!

Anyways, they say it's only a dry ride if you don't use the stick properly

Oh I think the stick was used perfectly, even managed to set off the "Stormforce" lifejackets (yet another nice bit of product placement).

lol - been there, popped the LJ

I'll get a peek at it later on donegaldan's internet feed from the wee north - BBC Viewer doesn't work here, down Mexico way

PS Anyone who pours a bit of water over that smug git Dara O'Whatsit gets a pint from me.

Ah it was nice to see my cruising ground on the telly. Sandy the owner of Venture West did a good job especially the dunking!! I was up there when they were filiming it was a great spell of weather we saw them going off from CH in the race fantastic sight. Sandy certainly made the most of the Corry that was there that day, personally I would have liked to have seen it a little more exciting just to see how they would have reacted!!

I saw it, very amusing

I just saw it. That trip reminds me of my run up there this season - they even sat at the same table in Craighouse

Fairly impressive footage of the 11m. Great advertising indeed. As regards a dry ride, I notice that the skipper kept his teeshirt dry the whole way through

For those of us who missed it first time out does anyone have any details of the program / you tube links etc?

jambo · 01 January 2011, 15:21

Hi Ez happy New Year to you. It was on BBC so u will get it on computer on iplayer. Well worth the watching just for the Corry part. As Willk says good advert for the irish ribmaker.

He won't - the BEEB have us Staters barred

I had to rely on donegaldan's covert wireless internet for my viewing...

Ezgoing · 01 January 2011, 15:54

Is it possible that someone could post a link that we might try?

Thks

willk · 01 January 2011, 16:38

Clicky

kerny · 01 January 2011, 18:30

Also seeing rory guzzling that single malt has got me in the mood for another bender only mine won't be a freebies .

Happy New Year to everyone

Thanks to the Gotchdad, I've just realised that the BEEB, in their Infinite Wisdom, pinched a Davey Spillane (the superb Irish Uillean Piper) composition called

Midnight Walker

for the opening scenes for this Scottish showcase series.

Have yis No Shame???

willk · 01 January 2011, 21:56

'ang on a mo' 'Arry!

That's IBWET's (on here) Ribcraft in the opening (towed) scene.

Is no-one paying attention???

I suppose the powers that be in the Beeb think that since it sounds Celtic it will do nicely. Mind you, no complaints from me as it is a fantastic piece of music and suits the scenery so well.

Well, we had a bloke in a kilt playing the war pipes here yesterday, so I suppose fair's fair!
