On the Piste....

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 12:36:03 GMT

Around about 1987 there was a tv prog called On the Piste. Was an hilarious look at skiers in Wengen and Soll. Laughing at the learning skiers fall off chair lifts - we have all done it. One of thos "knowing I have been there!" laughs!!

Anyway, anyone any idea where I can get hold of a copy?

:roll:

You're welcome Mr W :thumbup:

Dave Mac Dave Mac I've just been watching it and Herbert is playing the harp at around 22:00 mins!!! The guy is everywhere :lol:

P.S. For anyone going to watch it, right click on the picture, select zoom and then select 200%. Makes it a lot easier to see:D

On the subject of programmes - has anybody watched 'The Season' on BBC Switch which is a dramatised reality series about a group of ten teenagers who descend on Val d'Isere for their gap year?

It's so hideous it's compulsive viewing! Today, Hari & Holly realise there's only one modelling contract & they both want it. Abi takes Jay on a romantic weekend but Tom & Alex have other ideas. :roll:

Sometimes, when they aren't falling out with each other or trying to sort out their seemingly impossibly complicated love lives, they go skiing (or boarding). They all also say "like" far too much & are generally totally annoying.

I'm obviously far too old for it, but will no doubt sit down at 1.35 pm, flick onto BBC2 & proceed to have a rant for the next 30 minutes or so! (It may be on for longer but that's as much as I can take in one sitting)!! :twisted:

Please bring back 'On the Piste'!!! :lol:

I watched "The Season" last year - from your description this is a repeat as it sounds familiar.

I agree entirely that it's so bad it HAS to be watched!!!

Never saw any of them in VDI last year sadly...... :(

If my poor old memory serves, it was about a bunch of kids attempting to run chalets for skiworld.

Oh yes, I remember that one. Didn't they used to party until about 5.00am then fail to get up at 6.00am to get the bread for breakfast?

In 'The Season' they don't even attempt to run chalets! They just say "like" all the time :roll:

I watched about 10 mins of an episode of the season, it was hideous, the clowns in that show actually made me really angry, posho yoof of today at their worst.

Has anyone seen "Wickers Does LGB"? Its about a meek farmers boy from deepest Norfolk who gets a lesson in adulthood on a trip into the French mountains.....

That was called War and Piste, it followed a group of SkiWorld chalet girls in Val D'Isere. Shown on BBC in 1998.
