Geordies Overboard.

So did anyone watch the First Part of 'Geordies Overboard' on Channel 4, Wednesday Night??

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, its a two part documentary about the Crew of Blyth's, Private All-Weather Lifeboat.

I'm not sure if it was meant to be serious or a rival for 'Comedy of the Day'.

Hi Paul

Yes I did watch it with a bit of sadness as I never dreamed the BAWLB was run like that, is that what you call 'Team Work' and working together!

I will 'always' give full credit to 'any' lifeboat crew and the lads seamed to work well together, but as for the owner of the lifeboat (I thought it was a charity) I am sure we have all worked our way up through life many of us from humble backgrounds, but that does not give you the right to treat/talk/shout/preach to people like he does especially a lifeboat crew.

Has the owner forgot the crew do Volunteer!!
