Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the passion with which the compare narrated this battle of wills, sucking us further in to the triumph and failures of the candidates as they steamed through the course. .. might we also wonder how soft the current generation has become because you'd never be able to do this on a TV show now.

@@andrewjcraig That was exactly what I thought when I commented. There was a BBC show much later (but now long ago I guess). Can't quite remember the title but it was brutal in parts. Bunch of young uni guys go off to do 'tribal coming of age' initiations around the world. Great TV, but the second series had already being curtailed to 'softer' encounters.

@kevinquigg50357 жыл бұрын
In these later years of the series in the group finals, the winner of heat 1 was in red, heat 2 winner in green, heat 3 winner in yellow and the highest scoring runner up was in blue. However this didn't always happen. One example being the 1989 Group C Final, in Red was Dougie Forde who won Heat 2, in green was Liz Vasey who was that group's highest scoring runner up, in yellow was Mike Brennan who won Heat 1 and lastly in blue was Alan Hoar who won heat 3. From 1990 the line-up kept in line with the order of victory in the heats, Heat 1 winner in Red, Heat 2 in Green, Heat 3 in Yellow and the Group's Highest Scoring Runner Up in Blue.
