Back in 2003/4 there was a BBC 3 extreme sports challenge called Hercules - a bunch of athletes competed in mythic-themed challenges like throwing a rock all day or running a marathon in a giant hamster wheel.
It was awesome.
It was especially awesome because the athletes got utterly ruined and then stuck, taped and pinned themselves back together while the presenter chewed the scenery. Star of the show was Mike Dixon, an Olympian biathlete who blew a shoulder early on and survived with lots and lots of acupuncture and a metric crapload of Stiff Upper Lip with a side of True Grit.
Anyone know if it's available on DVD?
