I was hoping Lammerlaw would write a book, but that doesn't look like its going to happen any time soon.

Having watched the Gold Rush series, set in Alaska, I'm sure there is enough source material in Otago, or the West Coast, to provide a theme for an historical or modern day series. It couldn't be any worse, our scenery is better, we would find more gold and we could have women in the camp. It could even feature a Landrover somewhere.

It's got to be better than those cooking or singing programs. And you could feature more ridges somewhere.

Just a thought.

Sounds like a good format.
What ridge features were you thinking about?
