I missed it again ;-( After programming myself to turn on BBC2 at 7 pm to catch Ski Sunday, I find it was earlier to make room for the dogshow!
If it's the same as previous weeks, most of it is on the BBC2 website but in little chunks and missing the race coverage which you probably saw on Eurosport or C4.

Christopher, the episode went something like this:
High lighted lots of non ski related extreme sports
[edit] Learnt para-ski racing in 3 days... GB actually looked pretty good "flying" on skis
Womens Downhill Crans Montana - Lovely American lady and coach watch videos, race won by said lovely American lady, Italian lady falls over
Tara Palmer Tomkinson looked silly, acted silly, then came second to Colin Jackson in "Celebrity" race
Showed how they blew lots of tax payers money on fancy and impressive opening sequence in New Zealand
Think that sums it up...

Roy Hockley, Ed has been aorund a while. Seen him doing some boarding jumps and trciks and he is actually quite good. What a gig though, travelling the world testing boards and ski resorts. Barsteward

Interview with Ed on SCGB page:
What’s your best bit of gossip?
Lets just say Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

I enjoyed watching skiing on TV.
Disliked the bits were it wasnt skiing, e.g. on the train in Russia
On the whole it was good.
The penultimate episode was by far the best were they raced across the Tarentaise and Vanoise.
I liked the celebrity skiing, especially with the skiing tips.
The summer trek across the alps was also rather informative and interest. Especially with Montgenevre in the summer.

I see that the most recent issue of Private Eye devotes its entire TV column to the made-over Ski Sunday.
Interesting read.

ski-finder, that'll be the overall world cup standings... he only did DH and maybe a bit of SuperG. Without checking I think his highest WC finish was 8th. He can ski, don't worry about that. Many have said that MB's skill combined with GB's attack would have made the perfect DHer.

Me too. Mind you, he can obviously head down a brown pant-inducing slope at breakneck speeds better than most. Despite his 'lowly' standing in world standings etc, I still respect what he says on Ski Sunday...
... even if he is a double-planker!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the series this year, all of it. I also really like Graham and Ed. Can't wait until it is back next year.
