Must remember to set the SKY planner.

Is anyone going to be sticking this on YouTube?

How could I forget that that will inevitably happen?

Trying to sleep tonight will be difficult, I'll feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!

He gives nicknames to ALL the contestants apart from the really, really, really gooseberry fool ones in the 3-4 crap people montage. He'll pick up on something stupid you said to Amanda Byron and take the piss out of you for the rest of the show based upon it.

He'll have so much to choose from.
Please let it be a somewhat cool nickname, please!

I hope so for your sake, as whatever it is I have a feeling you'll be called it on here forever!

I'll sign it
So who's gonna be recording this and putting it up on youtube?

Man this is so cool! I doubt i could have done a full episode though, i would be strawberry floated after running to the starting point for each challenge

Did you have to do training sessions and all that to get your fitness level up?

I didn't do any training specific to it, I'd been doing the starting strength weightlifting programme before I ever knew I was going on the show and already had quite a decent level of fitness to begin with, I only found out 3 days before I flew out that I was going on the show so its not like I could have prepared for it anyway.

However the staff choose a range of fitness levels so you get some people who are very athletic and others who are just old, unfit, fat women.

24 hours remaining!

Count me in.

What time is this on?

This topic should be made an announcement (and have the Time/channel put in the title) until it's on. I better not forget to watch.

Read first post: Saturday 21st on BBC1 at 5.40PM

Still make it an announcement though.

So looking forward to this, its been a long time arriving!

The Beeb has messed this about so much in the schedules. I kept missing the start of the other episodes because I thought they'd be on at the same time.

This sounds like it will be great, hope someone remembers to record it.

Just over 5 hours to wait.

This thread will no doubt get big. So I'll sticky it for the next few days.

The missus and I are looking forward to it. We both love wipeout.

Lame. The second half of this show clashs with TV Burp.

Have to catch a train at 5.30pm tonight so I'm not going to be able to enjoy this 'live'. Will have to iplayer it tomorrow.
