I'd take out a year's subscription for that, especially Heather Mills

In post #50 I said that the future of The Jump depended on how Channel 4 felt about the fallout from this year's carnage (no other way to describe it, alas).
Well, they feel that the fallout isn't too great. In other words: there will be a fourth series next year.

Let's hope that it is much safer, however. Especially after Beth's accident - from which she still hasn't fully recovered...
I'd also like to see it go back to being daily - the weekly format this year didn't really work, though the injuries certainly didn't help.0 -

Cannot believe this is still (allowed to be) on the go!Hopefully it's better then last year! Was pretty boring! Am thinking will never beat the first series of it!
Just checked wiki there - on series 2, nobody withdrew.... how on earth did that happen??!!
Looking forward to this more than I probably should - it's even better than Dancing on Ice, which was my previous maximum-carnage guilty habit:D 0 -

While many people - including Davina - are surprised at the mere return of the show, I'm more surprised that the weekly format will be retained.
I still don't think it really worked last year - even without the many incidents, for want of an alternative word - and that the daily format used in the first two series is better. But then again, I don't work for Channel 4...
According to the tabloids and gossip sites, Josie has already injured herself, and former Miss Universe GB Amy Willerton is on standby - as is former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden. Should he get on, he might well win - Joe McElderry and Ben Cohen both lifted the cowbell trophy after replacing other contestants... 0 -

If it's the first one you were on about, or was the second one even better?
No the first one. Brilliant.0 -

but how the **** does Davina do her lines with that yowling yodeller in her left ear
That alone deserves a prize!
Davina is one of the best in the business for Live Television (or Television pretending to be Live, not too sure with this show!)
Mad Yoke Yodelling in your ear, no bother for Davina - but under similar circumstances Elvis wasn't able to keep a straight face!

Have to admit, I didn't enjoy this series as much as the previous three...
And, by the looks of things, nor did many others - with viewing figures falling by nearly a million between the first episode and the final (whereas last year they only fell by just over half a million, despite the carnage).
Making the show safer was undoubtedly a good thing - but, IMHO, they made it a bit too safe. While obviously no-one wants to see a celebrity seriously injured or even killed on air, that still didn't mean that virtually the entire series had to be pre-recorded, or that the celebs had to be put up in a hotel rather than a villa or chalet. I honestly believe that making the jumps and events less dangerous was the only thing they had to do...
Pre-recording the series also resulted in confusion as to whether or not Wiggins and Caprice had really withdrawn. And, of course, it all meant that the weekly format worked even less successfully than it did last year...
Should the show return in 2018 - and, once again, I wouldn't be tremendously surprised if it did - then reverting to the daily format is a must. And there should be more of a live element, too - even if that does mean that the risk of injuries is increased. (Hey, no matter how safe you make this show, it's probably not possible to eliminate this risk completely...) 0
