Caravanner of the Year on BBC this April!

This isn't going to be another four year thread is it ? .It's already going round in circles .Yes IMO the powers that be dropped a massive clanger , but any publicity is good publicity. Move on folks.

Wouldn't it be a good idea if they just brought that great caravan programme 'Caravans a British love affair' up to date and kept away from all the stupidity which is about as amusing as a hole in the head!

Write your comments here...Yes watched it last night , a very interesting programme .

Apparently there has been another BBC programme in similar vein featuring people who stay in Bed and Breakfast establishments.  Did anyone see it?

Write your comments here...There  was a programme that subject on TV yesterday.  Noticed it as I flicked through the channels to get to the news.  

Not really riveting TV.  Might suit those who loved Caravanner of the Year though.

  Yes ' Four in a Bed ' My OH and myself have watched it for years . find it entertaining just like COY. maybe would not suit some on here but we like it.

To be honest we watched the Caravanner of the year show and found it to be hillarious I do agree that the people they picked to appear on the show were "stereotypical image of caravanners" but if they would have picked ordinary people it wouldn't have been funny. I think we should just take it as it is which I believe to be a light hearted look at caravanning/motorhoming with exaggerated characters

They didn't need to exaggerate the Chairman's ability to make a fool of both himself and the Club.

As it is being judged by  the CC the winner might just have to have a Range Rover  and an Airstream.caravan and go about in a dinner suit. They wont want go encourage the "Lower Orders"  would they.

My Smoking Jacket and cravat had been sent to the cleaners especially in anticipation ...and then it all turned out to be tosh......what a waste of my time and money.........still they will be ready for my next jolly jaunt to a CC site somewhere in England.....Standards you know......

With the ever-growing popularity of the lesiure industry especially in Caravaning and motorhomes it would be nice to have a true representation of a proper "vanlife" , showing the benefits of touring from "normal" folk not the quirky people that caravanning is usally tarnished with.

I thought the program was amusing and entertaining. It certainly highlighted that the club and some members are the average age of the finalists and only cater for such.

Right, my turn....

Me and the OH have just watched both recorded episodes back to back last night as she's been working opposite shifts to me, so we decided to watch together once we got the chance... 

Cringe TV. End of... 

OK,  people did pick up on GC riding in the back of the MH, side on and 'probably' with no seatbelt. 

Is that why the camera was stuffed into his face so you couldn't see....??? 

And also, while on that part of the programme.... 

It was a time trial / competiton / race ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY!!!!!

So did their insurance cover it??? 

I know mine will NOT have! 

All insurance policies that I've had in the past says in the print, 'This does not cover you for races, competitions or time trialetc....' (or similar words to that affect)... 

It doesn't take much for an insurer to maybe 'investigate' this. All the evidence has just been broadcast! Named driver, vehicle reg and the 'race' detail......

Type that into their computers and................ 

Let's see if this post disappears? 

There's been a clanger bigger than Big Bens bell dropped here!
