Caravanner of the Year on BBC this April!

Wednesday night is pub quiz and we won (6 pints of draught ales!) so just watched the CoftheY. Compared with last week I must admit it was a lot better and quite enjoyed some bits of it! Did I really say that! Yes there were issues that have already been highlighted in the thread, but some parts were more 'fun'. Not my cup of tea at all - we use the van as an extension of home to see more of the UK and Europe but there could be potential in the right format to promote the joys of caravanning.

So, caravanning confirmed as a pastime for middle aged/elderly white couples. A missed opportunity. What about ethnic minorities, solo caravanners, LGBT caravanners (of which my husband and I are one), young family caravanners etc? If we are serious about extending the CC membership we need to move into the 21st Century.

Did you enter?

Have you seen the Guardian review? And the suggestion that it could have been improved with Aardman Animations?

(scroll down the review past Mary Beard's programme)

OK, I've just found out.

We are surely all people and have no need to identify ourselves by race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other grouping.

Do people really do welly throwing completions at rallies?

Write your comments here...I believe the precise term used to throw a welly is wanging.........don't ask me how I know lol

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. Deserving winners, I think.

Write your comments here...Your joking of course!!!

Not at all

I think the idea of a Caravanner of the Year is a good idea if executed correctly. Not to include  games, dining, fairy lights racing up inclines etc but, to include hitching up, loading, correct weight distribution, towing , reversing ( with or without a motor mover ) erection of awnings, correct positioning on pitches, levelling etc. I also think Motorhomes should have a separate section with Camper Vans. Caravans of a similar type to compete against each other. This would give two separated sections . So a Motorhomer of the Year also.

"include hitching up, loading, correct weight distribution, towing , reversing ( with or without a motor mover ) erection of awnings, correct positioning on pitches, levelling etc."

Be realistic, that'll never, ever, get commissioned as a prime time TV programme.
