Clouded by television's desire to make "Good/Watchable TV", would probably be more accurate.

We had a good chat about Mr Grylls last time we all met. It was interesting to see the different opinions and perceptions everyone had of him.

I think the Urban one is his attempt to make his Wilderness Experience seem applicable to 'normal life'.

The program seemed like a good way to bring survivalism to kids living in an urban area, but not really a decent 'survival skills course' kind of video.

Worth a watch, it's good TV, but if you have reasonable experience in survival skills, it's just good TV. If you're new to it, it sparks the imagination and makes you want to learn more. So in that respect, it is still worth a watch.
