I would not put you wrong, only the older generations will remember this series 💯

But all generations can learn about what it takes to keep going and experiencing life.

Airing from June 26, 2007, to December 16, 2008, the show followed athletic men from the UK and US traveling globally to master indigenous tribal sports.Contestants faced grueling traditional disciplines like Suri stick-fighting, Senegalese wrestling, and Kushti wrestling.

I'm actually an advocate of the BBC, despite their mistakes etc. However I find myself in a place where I have stopped paying for my license because the price went up and I decided I don't need it, but also because I became aware of their aggressive communication and tactics for non-license holders. I would like to use it, especially for events like football and tennis. I would like to support radio, sounds etc. and there are some genuinely good series on iPlayer.

I have now received several threatening letters and emails. None of which make any attempt to actually sell the benefits of BBC content and services. Here are some example email subjects:

• 8/5/26 - Your expired TV Licence - what happens next > [Enforcement Officers could soon visit if you’re unlicensed]
• 17/6/26 - Please do not ignore: we've opened an investigation.
• 1/7/26 - We've authorised a visit to your address
• 22/7/26 - Call us - before your investigation escalates

I now feel myself digging my heels in, refusing to buy a license until they actually send a positive communication.
