'I followed the two previous series of the Oz Clarke/James May wine adventures and, although I admire Oz for trying to educate viewers about drinking better-quality produce, I've become concerned that the programme is pandering to those who drink to get drunk.The RT feature invited us 'to join Oz and James for a drink - or three' and Oz said, 'True to form, James May got marvellously, heroically drunk', while the preview from' the Top Gear presenter gets sloshed at every opportunity'.
At a time when we're being urged to drink more sensibly, I don't wish to see more examples of James and/or Oz drunk'
Right Mr Bowtell of Hampshire, they were responsible, yes they were two men who got a bit drunk and no they were not advocating for people getting so drunk they can't see straight and pass out in the gutter in their own vomit. That extreme frightens me/
Drinking to get a bit drunk/giggly to enjoy yourself is allowed! They aren't hurting anyone nor are they getting violent with anyone.
They were never seen drinking and driving either before you have a go at them.
*sigh* Rant over ;D
I agree with all the above, and to add to that (again, sorry)... the point of this show is surely to educate in an entertaining way, and naively that's all it seems to me!... I've seen FAR worse on TV that allegedly passes for 'entertainment'?
