Caravanner of the Year on BBC this April!

I thought it was great, not from a 'quality programme' perspective but for complete laughter. I must be the only person that got exactly what they expected. The beginning was cringeworthy mind-A Hi-De-Hi set complete with tannoyed Gladys Pugh. That anal list making couple, the Lady was a good driver & good fun, She laughed at Herself quite happily. Roll on next week

You are absolutely right in what you say, Rocky. It was comedy of the year. The competitors were case studies in themselves.

However, as a shop window for CC, it was a disaster and complete farce. 

TW, didn't think you were going to watch it.

I didn't and going by the comments posted on here, it lived up to my expectation of belittleing the caravan fraternity and Caravan Club in general, It sounss like it was a waste of our membership fees, I hope the BBC paid well ...

Here's what I said several pages back, BT.

"As for the program, I watched it against my better judgement and it gives me no pleasure to say it exceeded my worst expectations.

Mr Chairman, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing the Club to be shown in such a light. I hereby call for your resignation forthwith."

 ..... The lowest age was 42!!!  .... 

And took part with his MUM!!!! . and had a comb over 

Paid for club membership, paid for TV licence and now paying for a new panel for the back of the chairman's van.  What a load of rubbish.  Surely the club could have used this TV opportunity to promote its policy on Diversity and Corporate responsibility - Oh sorry I got the club mixed up with a responsible organisation!

it was a good laugh really , dont know were they found that lot 

look forward to seeing some of this forum competing next year 

What on earth was the hierarchy at the Caravan Club thinking when they agreed to this crap........ and that prat Andy Harris....don't get me started.

Can I suggest that we all call for a vote of no confidence in the committee.

 

Totally agree, they have brought the club into disrepute. I trust the Chairmand and Director General will resign tomorrow.

At least there will be a new topic to discuss on site tomorrow. It'll make a change from the weather...... just!!

Train wreck TV!  Did nothing to enforce "modernisation" of our hobby.  Sad that the opportunity to do something positive appears to have been wasted.

(P.S no longer staff - still waiting for IT to remove banner) 

I seriously cannot recall a programme that has done so much damage to Caravanning. This beats Clarkson hands down IMO. Viewers must think that we're all like those portrayed on the programme. Were  our senior officers really being serious? If so I believe they should consider their positions. The BBC have 'done a job' on our club. I'm ashamed.

Come back Clarkson all is forgiven . Even you didn't do as much damage to our hobby of caravaning as the CC has just done.
