As part of their preparation for BBC Scotland's Great Climb, Dave MacLeod and Tim Emmett wanted to try five new routes on five Hebridean islands in five days - a world first.
Tides, weather, fatigue and the sheer difficulty of the climbs were all against them.
Two 60 minute films chart their frustrations and their triumphs and are going on air on the 19th & 26th October- 19.00 hours on BBC 2 Scotland, Sky Channel 990 and Freesat (channel 970).
Is there anyone at the BBC we can email to point out that there are people in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland who are interested in climbing, and would quite like to watch it on the TV?
In reply to UKC News: You should be able to watch via the BBC iPlayer. This is how I watched the great climb so I assume these programs will be the same.
Looking forward to this. Although knowing the BBC, I've got a feeling that it will leave climbers a bit disappointed, aimed at a non-climbing demographic who won't know technical terms. I hope to be proven wrong though!
In reply to James Oswald:
If the first one is on tonight (I think today is the 19th?) then hopefully it will be on iplayer within an hour of it finished on BBC2 Scotland - I get back from the wall at 9 so fingers crossed it will be up by then...
In reply to Bean Head:
Maybe we're restricted by our contract or something, I searched for "5" and nothing showed up, then browsed by channels and there was nothing for BBC2 Scotland on Tuesday.
If you go
On Demand -> Catch Up TV -> All Channels -> iPlayer -> Search
then it doesn't show up, but if you go
On Demand -> Catch Up TV -> Search
then it does (and the banner says "iPlayer"!)
