    I've been following this each week, having watched the previous series.



    Such a hard way to earn a living, or not.



    Ken Stott does an excellent job as narrator

    My brother in law was a trawlerman, one of the hardest, dangerous jobs which is hindered by red tape designed by bureaucrats in Europe.

    According to the narrative, they are thirty times more likely to die in their workplace than any other profession



    Red tape? Last nights programme showed one of the trawlers having to throw cod back, dead or alive, because they are not allowed to sell it under present rulings................sustainability........... yet the nets were bulging with cod.

    I know trawlers are bigger now but when you see old photos of docks bulging with trawlers, creating employment for communities and then see what we have today. I don't know the full facts but it appears to me once again a government didn't stand up for its people.

    I've watched this and it just appears a watered down (boom boom) version of Deadliest Catch.



    Next, Ice Road Truckers will be remade as Slough Hauliers.

    I didn't see Deadliest Catch



    I just enjoy seeing reality tv get off its arse once in a while
