The Race Up Mont Ventoux - On Hannibal's Trail - BBC Four

[unforswonk]

lame sell-out divs. so shit it's good. aussie nobs on bikes, in canoes, saying 'i can only imagine how hannibal must have felt'. genius.

An excellent idea for a show, Shigawire you no idea how could they ride bikes and carry a shield and spear or an elephant?

[Shigawire]

Lame idea for a program. This belittles Hannibal Barka's perilous trek into a Tour de France show. This has nothing to do with Hannibal. Wear sandals and military equipment from the 2nd punic war. THEN make the program... WALKING :D

This looks so great! Can't wait to see the full version - hoping it's aired in the States as well. Well done Wood Brothers!

Hannibal had to cross the alps somewhere...

[ozdesmo]

So, Hannibal and his men went up Mt Ventoux rather than around it ?? I don't think so lads .....

[samfwood]

@ozdesmo we don't think Hannibal went over Mt Ventoux. We were nearby (At Vaison-La-Romain where Hannibal possibly settled a dispute between two brothers, one who then supplied him for his trip over the alps) and thought it would be a good challenge to climb it that's all. When the rest of the show airs later this year (in the UK) it will all make more sense.
