i loved foxtel, recently moved and cancelled the bundle as it was too hard (and its not footy season)
I only watched history, Nat Geo, discovery etc . cant do commercial TV anymore, but in saying that, so much Nazi stuff on history, I was beginning to speak german, and started memorizing the names of the 3rd Reich!

Yep! We took to calling it "The Hitler Channel".

I blame Goebbels ;)

I guess the thing is there was an enormous amount of footage taken during the rise of the National Socialists leading into the Second World War.
No event since would have generated that level of 'prolific' film coverage....except maybe a Royal Wedding ;D
It's easy to combine that stuff into a doco rather than recreate your ancient Romes and Egypts.

Vietnam and the Gulf War(s) documentaries would probably rank next after WW2 on that channel

Does anyone watch Aircrash Investigation? Easily my fav show on Foxtel in the off season.

Yep. Can't watch it when Mrs Baggers is about though - scares her too much.

That episode where they ran out of petrol and the pilot glided the big bird to that abandoned airfield... until they got closer and saw all these folks/kids on it, was a beaut. Glad that most of the shows are based on problems, broadly speaking, in the 10-30 years ago category!

OMG same here. It's strictly non-fatal accidents when she's watching but she can't even handle them now.

Was that the one where he decided he needed to 'slip it'? And he came in at that angle and then straightened in the final seconds and aced it? They were drag racing on the old air strip. Amazing.

There is a good reason why I like to sit at the pointy end, have you seen some of the survivors?

If you survived a major crash it would be like falling through a "Person Blending Furnace" and coming out the other without a fatal injury. But the mental damage would be catastrophic!

I talked to a survivor at an air show once, he had massive health problems that they eventually cured him of. It seems he had a fragment of bone floating around internally that wasn't his!

So it is the pointy end for me, if it is going to hit I don't want to remember it! For that matter, I do my best not to remember the airports either!

Seen quite a few of them - excellent. Now also on DVD. BTW Carrotts, have you seen the movie "Flight" with Denzel Washington? If you like AI you will probably love this movie.
Reality always wins in the end.

No I haven't must see!

This is prob my fav doco on planes on the Air France disaster, by far the best doco I've seen.

Saw it at the movies. I also love Joe Cocker. Might give Mad Dogs and Englishmen a spin on the turntable tonight while I'm having a few beers.  ;D

Yep... that's the one, Turnips! There was a c0ckup with the fueling - confusion between litres and gallons from memory!!

Anyone watch Naked News around a decade ago. There was another one called Wild On where this unbeliebably hot lady Brooke Burke would tour the world's party locations.

Good times Gozza, young with no responsibilities and nothing on your mind but sex drugs and techno music. :))
