9. Love the show, but I don't have BBC America.
When Discovery aired a few shows, I got hooked.

10. My sociology professor is a big fan.
I've only seen the episode where they were in the southern US with various anti-redneck slogans on their cars.

that their precious theme song is a Southern Anthem. ;-)


They just barely got away without being shot. :P :rofl:

edit: It was like watching British rednecks try to goad Southern Rednecks. :P

14. Good. Something nice to watch on TV tonight when I get home.
At least they put to good use an airfield that was to be closed. Took a tour of the place when I was a schoolkid when they were doing final assembly on harriers and hawkers there. (field was ex-British Aerospace).

As for the show itself - it's just a hoot. Loved the American edition, as someone else said "british rednecks goading southern rednecks - about describes it.
