Since I was in my late teens I have always liked motorbikes and trucks. I like bikes because they are fast, flashy and it feels pretty good sat on the back in leathers with the wind blowing through your hair. Not sure why I like trucks whether it is something to do with all the hitch hiking I used to do, or because my brother is a truck driver or because I have so many memories of being stuck behind long truck convoys when travelling through the remotest parts of Spain to get to Portugal. I just love the engine sounds and the big cabs - everything about trucks. So I was thrilled to bits when my son lent me his copy of 'Ice Truckers The Complete Season One.'

I discovered Ice Road Truckers on the History Channel during its second season so my girlfriend bought me the first season so I could see it from the start. There are 3 discs in the box and it cost £10 in Tesco at the time, they only seem to have the later series at the moment but this can still be bought online for even less.

'Ice road truckers' is another great documentary series, similar to 'Deadliest Catch.' The series follows truckers who drive in Canada's Northwest Territories over frozen lakes, hence the name. It is an exhilarating and dangerous documentary that can also be insightful. The documentary premiered on the History Channel and now is also broadcast on channel 5. However it is much better to own the DVD and have at your disposal at any time. The series is a great, quite manly and adrenaline fuelled programme. So as mentioned, the show focuses on truckers who drive in Canada's Northwest Territories. The show focuses on six truckers in season one, my personal ...  Read the complete review
