hi!

Yes, I agree, this was television, abiet British TV. Lots of quick cuts and use of
graphics, but then that's what it takes to
catch and hold the attention of the younger
set. As for us oldsters, it was too quick,
no time given to airing the team's mission
planning sessions, before each of the three episode challenges. I did like the points
system and what appears to be the use of
limited paint to keep the focus on teamwork
and tactics and not on putting loads of
unaimed shots down range. Also thought the
hudge explosion at the end of part one was
great!

Hope this helps open the door, if only
just a crack, when it comes to our own TV networks airing more PB events, as long as
they put some time and money into making
them worth our viewing time. Sure there
are plenty vendors who would jump at a
chance to join the game, so long as they
see it helps to present the sport in a
positive way..

Remember, always cover your rear!

Andy, aka 'Dorsai'
