Anybody watch it? I've been watching this show since it began. A bit of a slow burner for me , but the guy seems to have an infectious enthusiasm that sucks you in, even if he does have some strange ideas.

He's planning on fighting an Olympic kickboxing gold medallist almost twenty years his junior now. Crazy.

    No interest in him at all, his films back then were pretty poor, poor mans Arnie but as a teenager they were watchable. But have no interest in watching the blokes equivalent of 'Kerry Katona/Jordan' type documentary on ITV2.

    was it the osbournes that kicked that style of show off?

    I don't wanna hear him talking / intellectualising, just fighting..
    much like I don't wanna see Lord Winston doing a kungfu movie :)

    although I'm sure his kungfu is strong hehe

    I guess he has to keep money rolling in to fund his life style like kerry coketona and other mugs like that, including richard and judy's annoying talentless brat and that ugly bint with a mouth like a sewer.

    Given the subject matter, I think you'll need to be a little more specific...

    If you're a vet and have to be close to a bear, always tranquilise it.That way it's not so dangerous.

    I did watch the first 2 and i did laugh at his epiphany bit but it was quite dull apart from that its a shame TV Burp finished for the time being as thats the best way of seeing the most stupid bits without having to sit through 40+ mins of tripe.

    I've never been a fan of his, as to me he just wasn't right for action films, I mean, he just doesn't have physical presence or the, I don't know, the air to play that part. Maybe he really is very tough in real life, but he doesn't give off that feel, to me.

    I mean, I watched Gran Turismo a few days back for the first time, and it's great. Clint Eastwood is seventy-eight years old, and he looks it. But even so, he still just has that look, that expression, that something that says "Don't mess with me". For all I know, in real life Clint Eastwood might be the biggest coward ever, be camper than Dale Winton, and never thrown a punch in his life. But he has that effortless machoism or whatever it is.

    And whatever it is, we all pick up on it. It's something from our animal/tribal days, I suppose, some instinct that warns you when someone is potentially dangerous. You know what I mean, some men just have it (I wish I did). It's nothing to do with physical size, or how tough someone really is, but some men just dominate the room even if they are small or silent. Those are the men who always get served straight away, no matter how full the bar is.

    Charles Bronson had it, Sean Connery, Gene Hunt out of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. Stephen Segal doesn't have it (even though in real life he is apparently very tough, he just doesn't give off that indefinable-but-real warning), nor does the bloke who played Max Payne in the film (I watched it a couple of days back, don't bother if you haven't seen it).
