i was reading a report on the recent bank international in one of the mags and the line TV TAKE NOTE got me thinking would tv coverage of such an event work?????has it been tried before?????would sure beat watching the scottish football highlightswhat do you think

I totally agree with you but it would take someone like Chris Tarrant with his tv. clout to pull this off.

I mentioned filming early on as i thought it would have made for great tv, plenty of footage to be had and the publicity would have been great for the event. C+R also made it more viable. Unfortunately i feel it wasn't pushed hard enough to secure a network this time but it's definately a good option for the future.

Robson Green would be better,surely.

Has anyone been watching 'river monsters' with Jeremy Wade? Not usually a fan of his 'that is a run, that is a run, that is a run that is a ruuuuun' commentary, but really enjoying this series. Just enough travel in it to keep it interesting for the wife too...?

I watched the episode about goliath tigerfish and haven't bothered since. I got the feeling that they were stretching about 8 or 9 minutes of actual live footage to fill 20 minutes plus of programme running time. JW just misses the mark for me somehow - not sure why.

It seems as if the way to get fishing on prime time TV is to fold it into a countryside type show with "green" overtones...I am not sure that coverage of a competition would attract general viewers, and plenty more fly fishers don't competition fish than do.
