Anyone catch Channel 4 last night from 9-10pm?
Documentary about a woman that reported on Afghanistan 6 months ago, and went back to see how the war is affecting those she met last time?

What a dozy cow.
Sorry, but if you watched it, you know what I mean.

1st of all, a reporter usually enclosed in an office in Fleet Street going back to a war-torn region.
Fair enough, I can dig that.

Except she had to sneak through the border patrols and no-go zones.
Ok, a bit dangerous but still maybe I can see why.
But her guide panics and they run off into the night when a border patrol turn up.
Hello? Suspicious?

And then the guide gets lost and can't find the bridge across the river.
So she keeps saying how it's -10 degrees and they are as high as the base camp on Everest.
And she's wearing a shawl and some duffel coat thing.
*shakes head*
And then they decide to wade across a river.
At night.
In Afghanistan.
Below freezing.
She then complains her feet are frozen solid and she can hardly speak.

*claps hands slowly*

So let me get this straight:
A region with conditions that the SAS train years for, the hardest soldiers fail to get into a regiment that deals in these conditions...and a woman wearing light winter wear stumbles around at night with a guide that gets lost?

The amazing thing is she survived.
And went back home again saying very little.
What a pointless waste of 60 mins to see this stupid woman lurch around a warzone, defying conditions that Spec Ops teams have to learn to survive in.

And they say we don't have quality TV programming in this country!

:)

PS this is why the press are so evil and vulture like! Do anything (however ill-advisable or just plain STUPID) for the 'scoop of the century'.

She'll be welcomed and hailed as a hero for making it back.
