Ricklovesthepowder, Thought as much, but thanks for the interesting qualification
Actually I've already watched both runs of both Adelboden races on ES so shame there isn't just a bikini edit.

rob@rar, Come off it, we've got threads on her admiring her feisty spirit (me included). Whilst I agree she probably had little choice about her interview topic, it was an awful piece of journalism/ entertainment. Why couldn't she do something less "fluffy"? Why not do something more like Ed and Graham? |
Sums it up for me too. Nothing wrong seeing her have fun but maybe better on a Dancing on Ice trailer not a sports programme where she could have made more of the opportunity to raise her ski profile. Maybe a piece on her rehab or something and/or commentary.

manicpb, IIRC in Lockdown Projects, "Terminal Ferocity" DVD in the 'extras' - there is a short skit of Jenny 'bare chested' (cupping herself to protect her dignity) in an attempt to ensure she gets a title sequence part....

I like ski sunday but I much preferred the sister show, high altitude. Does anyone know if that show has been canned or is there a chance of a further series in the pipeline? it was epic.

If they went back to the old format of less repetitive racing and more on skiing/boarding and resort info etc they would maybe get better ratings.

Er, whatever.
Ski Sunday used to be an extension of Grandstand and was always a ski racing highlights show since it first aired in the late 70s. The 'lifestyle' format was a pretty recent thing.
And personally, at 45 minutes a show a week, I'd prefer more ski racing and one less n0b£nd snowboarder eating up the duration with his embarrassingly weak and pointless segments about nothing.

dudes
you are all missing the point
it is not that she is getting her baps out and indulging in soft porn
that is what fiesty fit birds do
and that is just fine
but
it is that she is trying to position herself as a serious presenter
then getting her baps out and indulging in soft porn
in the same episode of the stuffy Ski Sunday
ok bye

Depends what you find interesting but the've just had Chemmy and Julia Mancuso rolling round in the snow in their bikinis. |
Shark: jumped. Utter waste of broadcasting time. I don't honestly know what the producers of SS think they're doing, but the complaint that gets levelled at them time and time and time again is 'not enough actual skiing'. So they respond with 'Chemmy and Julia's aimless poolside chats'.
And the contempt towards snowboarding was even more in evidence than usual. "P.S. here's some inarticulate buck-toothed chav doing some trick or other. BYE THEN".

I guess the problem with 'High Altitude' was that the BBC had to spend money on it.

If you are talking to me (I am not VOT), but have no way of proving this unless a MOD does a reverse IP on me, I am currently sat somewhere cold and dusty, but using a VSAT.
I was going for a 'licking' smiley, to represent an act!

I was praying he would react like Baron Von Rickthoven did to Blackadder and Baldrick, I actually cringed for Graham Bell right at that moment.

I'd be more likely to watch it if it wasn't just ski racing. Don't mind a bit but find it very very repetitive. Just a few short powder skiing segments or something like that just to mix it up and get more people involved would be cool I think.
But aimless chat doesn't attract anybody.

adithorp, amazing she can do that with just the one leg.
Anyway, when you consider the BBC's resources SS could be so much better. For starters, they showed a GS race that was already ancient history in news media terms. And when they do the Schladming Night Slalom the broadcast may as well be in a different eon. In the Vine days they used to shoot on tape on and before the saturday race, then one of the crew would literally hot foot it to the airport and get tapes back to White City for overnight editing ready for sunday broadcast. Despite huge advances in live feeds and transmission of other footage, the customer experience hasn't moved on.
It needs to be more immediate like Eurosport (but not necessarily live and not necessarily on a sunday), or it needs to be a round-up and analysis show like Match of the Day. It needs an Anchor, a professional presenter to hold it all together and then the athletes can then be there as experts doing the inside job.
I think the programme sometimes talks down to the audience. There was Chemmy doing what I though was a decent interview and then it got dumbed down with a bit of titilation. Don't get me wrong, nowt wrong with fit burds prancing about in bikinis but what was the thinking?
Personally, I'd bin the theme tune (plain old fashioned like Pot Black), bin the name (cos it's more than just "ski" and it shouldn't be restricted to "sunday") and give it a big rethink.

Has anyone any idea where I can get hold of High Altitude episodes please? iPlayer binned them long ago, nothing to buy and nothing on the torrent sites either it would seem.

Well I just watched it and it was pretty good IMHO. Nice balance of lycra clad ski racing to other stuff. The snowboarding bit wasn't long enough to outstay it's welcome and I found the whole thing fairly entertaining.
