Thread: The new face of television. Slow TV, made for series LR drivers

I flicked on the Ghan doco the other night and got bored after a few minutes, I personally could not see how some one could sit through the entire 3 hours of it.

I watched some of it too, Mario. An interesting subject, poorly presented. It was the best option on FTA, though.

We started watching the Ghan doco. Switched after a few minutes, I taped it to watch later.
i thought that there was more they could have done. Started with the history and then some footage from the archives, but no, occasional pop outs of information with no obvious warning that flashed off the screen before I could finish reading.
very disappointing, when I find the time I'll go through the recorded session and hopefully find some nuggets.

I think there's something sad about this. It's not 'slow TV', it's people being more interested in experiencing life through a screen than first hand.

I watched the whole 3 hrs and enjoyed it. The reason I enjoyed it is because I do go out and travel the outback.

We recorded it and my wife has watched some of it.

As we have twice travelled on The Ghan, she thought it was a tad boring.

Watched it.
Loved it.

Last time I was on the Ghan it only went halfway.

If you want slow TV try the Maleny Cow Cam. It's riveting stuff.
