quantock, at the top of the page there's a Send/Read Messages option, click that and then click New Message. Once there type in the username of the person you want to PM and the message.
Either that or just click this PM Super Eagle link

OK. So now we all know about the programme 'On The Piste' there is now another programme that I have vague memories of that I would like to see again. It compared the learning style of a new age ski school in America and the traditional method in Austria (might have been Söll also). One scene that really sticks in my mind is when the American students are standing indoors and are being asked to close their eyes and visualise a turn and move their hands through the turn as if they were skis. Also the narrator said that tears were encouraged. The coach said to camera 'Oh yes we encourage crying as a way of letting out our frustrations.' - 'Meanwhile' the narrator continues - 'The only tears in Austria are the tears of laughter running down the faces of the beginners as the fall over each other.'
This could have been a stand-alone programme, or, thinking about it, it might have just been an item on 'The Snow Show' with Muriel Grey. Does it sound familiar to anyone else?
Cheers

Super Eagle, Hi, I am a fairly new member to Snowheads but while browsing the site i came across this thread. Are you still able to copy this Program On The Piste onto DVD as i would love a copy. I even have a collegue at work who does not ski but remembers it as one of the funniest programmes he has ever seen!
If you want to e-mail me please do on ringrosek@uk.tigplc.com
Regards,
Kevin

If Supereagle is getting fed up of copying it, I'm sure some of us who have had copies from him could do some.
But only if he wants us to, I wouldn't want to step on his toes.

Kevin was real... He was no BBC plant or actor - he was the real deal! I knew Kevin in a totally different context, and remember being gobsmacked when the show was on TV at the time - he was as uncoordinated at the martial art that he was trying to do, as he was at skiing....

Hi I have no idea how old all these posts are but like most people who have replied I have been searching for this documentary for a long time. My Dad and I often spend a good half an hour crying with laughing just recapping the antics of Kevin and Maureen. Just seen a clip of Maureen on ski lift on |Room 101 and had me in hysterics again. Please please please can someone send me a copy. My Dad would go nuts to see it again as would I.

Many apologies for reviving this old thread.
I too would love a copy of the DVD and am more than willing to contribute to the site/ anyone who can send me a copy via paypal.
Thanks in advance,
Johnna

I'm not sure whether I should be asking Super Eagle or Alastair Pink, but I too would love a copy, if it's not too much trouble. Perhaps one or other could let me know if it's OK to PM. Thanks.

I think this whole thread should be sent to the BBC and then maybe they might replay the documentary or bring it out on DVD. There's obviously still a huge interest in it!! If Room 101 can get hold of it then it must be still around!

I've watched mine - thanks Alastair Pink.  The contrast between what you see on the screen and that wonderfully dead-pan BBC commentary is priceless. What a shame Kevin didn't feature in the ski school test!

Alastair, many thanks for that. much appreciated. I've only had a brief look at it so far, but it seems hugely high on the cringe-o-meter .
A large beer is ready for you should we bump into each other again.
All the best.

What I found astonishing was that it was all not a very long time ago. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Seemed like another age.
