How about 'Doomsday Preppers'? Nutcases that lot!

The Derren Brown Experiments that have been on SBS the last few weeks. Well worth watching if you're interested in human behaviour.

I enjoyed those too...but if you combine conditioning with hypnosis like he did in some episodes you can get some people to do almost anything...so I'm not sure they were experiments as such.

I agree with your point, maybe Experiments was chosen as the name of the show. The show with the audience in masks picking a good or bad outcome for the guy in the bar was great.

Deep Water. Unbelievable true story of a weekend sailor who put his business, house etc on the line and entered the first non-stop circumnavigation round the world yacht race in 1968...and very quickly realised he was way out of his depth. He decided to fake his position and sail round in circles for months until the rest of the fleet were almost back home and then join them and cruise to the finish line a hero. That was the plan anyway. Best doco I've seen.

Hey mate, sorry for the slow reply. Just got back from holidays. Hunter's books can be a bit of a drag IMO depending on your personal interests. I thought his first published book "Hells Angels - The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs" was great. Of course there is always "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" which is probably his most well known book. "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail" was okay but for me once he really gets into the political stuff I lose interest a little. Mind you the political stuff was his bread and butter. Some years ago I read the first volume of his autobiography/letters which was called "Tales of a Southern Gentleman". It was awesome. Anyway, happy reading!!
