Aunt Agonist
Stumbled across this on 'QUEST' while channel hopping. Having been a fan of Ice Road Truckers for a while, I was getting bored with the on screen 'conflict' between shipping companies then found this gem from Australia. Firstly, they drive on the right side of the road (the left) the language and sense of humour etc are more recognisable to my Brit way of thinking. It's not all about the language though, I get a real sense of camaraderie between drivers and their co-drivers and the people they come across, quite often the co-drivers are spouses, because of this personal connection IRT does appear cold, no pun intended. OT shows locals gathering together to help drivers get out of sticky situations. They often invite drivers to their homes and feed and water them, offer advice about local road black spots and weather. All in all I look forward to seeing OT in the 'My recordings' folder.
