Yeah that was great. I'm so glad he now knows what she said. He won't let that go now!

I've just listened and that was brilliant. I'd love to read her response.

He's never going to be super skinny. That's just how body-types work. For a heavy-set man he's looking pretty slim right now I think.

He's lost 3 stone total. Give him some credit! After all he's been through, I think the people trashing and judging him because of his weight can go screw off.

As for Polly Graham, I hope she feels like a complete mouthy moron. I loved his remarks and thought it quite amusing that he saw how worked up we all got about it. I hope she has the decency to print an apology, the cow.

She's unlikely to I think - she's a journalist and a particularly bad one at that. The best we can probably hope for is that the miserable cow will come back with some scathing article to give him more ammo for another entertaining rant.

The documentary looks really good so far. Alesha looks like she was quite good fun.

I'm recording it. Good thing too, I'm still at work. Into hour number 12 now.

Haha, I love the way Chris is much less effected by altitude than the fitter people because he smokes.

Also, where's Rachel? I suppose the editors didn't think many would want to see her.

“If it gets cold you put on a sweater. If it gets warm you take it off.”

Wise words there from Mr. Ronan Keating.

I second this! I suppose the editors thought she wasn't famous enough :(

Good documentary though, even if the abundance of cheesy incidental music did start to grate after a while :P

The documentary was brilliant and puts into perspective all of the comments by the climbers reporting to the show. Congratulations once again on a huge achievement. Yeah also that had more music than an average Breakfast Show :wink:

An hour just wasn't long enough. It was a great show, and Chris looked like he actually enjoyed it, making jokes and laughing at every situation, he came out of it very well indeed.

I am going to have to hunt around for this. Hopefully some kind soul will post it somewhere.

I couldn't believe how many people they had in their group. Looked like there was about 40 of them. And those guys with the enormous bags on their head. Can't be very good for their necks surely.

As well as the porters and the medical team, there was the Radio 1 production crew, the GMTV production crew and the documentary production crew. It did look a bit over the top, but its all about getting out to the world, so you need all that stuff.

Those porters are just brilliant, what a lovely bunch of blokes.

Yeah, the porters did a brilliant job supporting our climb team. Was sooooo many of them, but obviously all needed. Really enjoyed the programme last night. Had an effect on my young daughter watching it, kinda first realisation for her that life elsewhere really is desperate and how the odd 'tv ban' for bad behaviour is really not that significant.

Chris did a great job of keeping spirits high.
