The timing varies throughout the country.
Up here (Grampian) it starts at 4.50 and finishes 10 minutes before my bus for london leaves.

Watched it. Wish I hadn't. Not nearly good enough to qualify as crap. Got the impression that whoever complied it had never come into contact with a boat before in their lives.
Given the number of knowledgeable yachting journos about, it seems a great pity that ITV/BMIF couldn't come up with something a bit better - hey Kim, how about IPC staging a takeover bid?

Have to agree it was a crap programme.
About 2 minutes total on sailing cruisers and most of the time drooling over Nigel Mansels new Gin Palace,

At risk of sounding a bit sore...
...I was involved in the BBC version a few years back...really enjoyed it until the producer changed and then all of a sudden we were expected to get excited about hire row boat lakes 'balanced' by large amounts of film regarding squillionaires enjoying their boats in Texas (complete with hydraulic lift gun cabinets)(the latter shot as it turned out by the husband of the new producer who enjoyed the best part of however long in the US as a part of the mission). My views not well received at the time and the phone stayed silent thereafter, unsurprisingly.
Very cynical about the whole TV thing; impossible to persuade them to make decent progs for the 2-3 million minority rather than for the only marginally interested majority. Understand the commercial pressures but even so...
That said we have the product knowledge at IPC but not the core TV skills; one or the other of us gets involved in some kind of independent TV production discussions on a regular basis but the bids always seem to fail the minute the independent guys pitch the idea; no doubt it falls at the altar of the next reality docupap idea. We are of course connected to the likes of CNN and HBO, so you'd think something might be possible but nothing has clicked thus far.
