Lucy1978:
Couldn't watch it as I kept getting annoyed by the rubbish they were talking.  Survival training? bullet proof glass?  A smile and hello gets you a lot further.

Range Rover Blues:
Most of it's sposorship because they are working to highlight the work on UNICEF as they go.

I remeber from long way round that they ir first choice of bikes pulled out near the start of the trip because they manufacturer didn't think they would finish.  BMW were more than happy to fill the breach.  What's a couple of bikes compared to the publicity of that trip, one advert on prime time probably costs more than a bike and let's face it, none of us watch adverts.

It's called product placement.  Coca-Cola paid tons of cash just to have Superman samsh a bad guy into a Coca-Cola lorry on Superman, and as for back to the future 2.........

It all harks back to the seventies when TV first left the studio.  BL didn't quite get the idea and lost the opertunity to Ford.  

Sweenie, the profesionals etc etc.

littlepow:
Most of the set of medical dramas are donated by medical supply companies as advertisement. If you watch most TV show's, they have product placement in them. You can even by bilboard space in computer games!

datalas:
The only trouble with the program is that the title of it sounds like an answer to the question "what sentence best describes the quality of Royal Mail's customer satisfaction?"

madgaz:
I think it is a great series...or at least Long Way Round was 8)
I'm certainly hoping this one will be as good :D
