Yes I did.

What a prat! Expecially when it came to his other girlfriend, Mel soon wiped the smug grin off his face!

I thought some of the things he said made sense but mainly he talked out of his (naked) arse.

Enjoyable viewing.

Yup, I saw it - and to be honest turned off after about 30 mins because the guy just drove me nuts. I felt very sorry for Mel - especially when he was saying "it is your responsibility how you react". Urmmm, yes it is, but she's reacting to you sleeping with other women!

Anyhow - I was surprised at just how severe some people's reactions were!

Also; the guy who tried to "out-nude" them. Quality

Oh, and weird guy; "Steve said this, Steve said that, Steve is beautiful".

haha what a freaky programme..especially the ramblers who joined and were boasting about how "more nude they were"...WTF? how more nude can you get?!

i thought the most ironic bit was his g/f shopping for a vest-top, put it on in the shop (and literally just the top for those that havent been scarred by watching it..) and then decided she didnt want it cos it showed her nipples to easily...que?!?!

That chap was an utter prat. I felt so sorry for his missus at the end when he was banged up again - WTF was she meant to do in Inverness by herself? Still, at least he wasn't as creepy as the Romeo Cleaner bloke that joined them.

At times I thought he was quite bright, at other times he could barely string a sentence together. He certainly needs a lesson in table manners though.

Breaking news: I hear Vixpy has signed up for the return trip back to Land's End. The cold Scottish climate will do hime no favours though when it comes to impressing ladies.

what what what?! sounds like I turned off just at the wrong time! I got as far as them with the weird guy who loved Steve (about 20 or 30 mins in) when the woman had a go at the weird guy saying she would have hit him if her children were there.

What on EARTH happened after all that, then!?

They were arrested every 500 yards or so it seemed, and a condition of their bail was that they started wearing clothes. The bird decided this was a fairly good idea so they rambled for a while with kagouls or whatever on. Then when they hit Inverness off came the togs again, nee-nar nee-nar, both banged up. She is released as she has clearly had enough - he walks out of the prison naked, is met by two policemen outside who promptly arrest him again.

blimey! what a prat? I guess part of it is knowing when to stop - so she did, and he didn't, huh?

he was annoying me so much (basically, everything else is everyone else's fault) that I just had to turn off. Kinda wish I'd stayed watching now!

In fair play to them both, it was one hell of a trip to take on!

look at that - it says it took him SEVEN months to do!! (I recall them mentioning 3 months?).

They don't at any point mention the girl, though. why not?

So.. Nudists.. Do you get plus membership because you are 'plus' sized, or because of the length..........................of time you have been doing it?

Thought this was very, very funny. Goes without saying that the people involved were all various shades of mental. When Bird 1 got her revenge and copped off with Bird 2 and freaked out Uncle Swammpy who promptly ran up a hill to hide, I very nearly pissed myself laughing. "I believe in free love" ... of course you do, have a sandwich.

Best bit was how many members of the general public started stripping off in support every time some one else had a sense of humour failure ... the very best of which was during one of the arrests where some random bloke appeared naked in his front garden and said something like "Call the police when your house is burgled and sod all happens. Take your trousers off, and here they are. Marevllous"
