People watch fishing, snooker, darts, even.......cricket! Surely paintball has to be more exciting than those!? :p

It states a magazine style format, so I'm sure any game footage will be highlights with all the good bits picked out.

This is quite an exciting opportunity for paintball and I can't wait to see how the show turns out.

I find it quite sad that there are already others being negative about this, simply because of who is involved in it. Who cares who is doing it, paintball is going to have the opportunity of mainstream TV exposure. It just seems that some would wish it to fail just to see a certain party fail and lose money, or be sitting all bitter if they make it a success that we acually all benefit from.

Me? I'll be waiting to watch, in anticipation, and hope it goes well so the series is extended into a regular one. Anyone else hoping it will be like a 'Top Gear' for paintball? :)
I have to agree (This is quite an exciting opportunity for paintball and I can't wait to see how the show turns out)
i would even get SKY just so as i can see it ,it can't be bad at all for the sport..... Woodball or Speedball
and what is so bad about Shoreline as i don't know ??

It's not shoreline, it's anybody who has a difference of opinion to Mr Jacks who in his small mind is obviously a lacky of shoreline. I think a magazine type show can only be good for paintball though i doubt it will get the viewing numbers to be a long running show but who knows.

Is it just me that remains a sceptic??? Paintball has, is and probably always will be ****e to watch on telly, fair play to them for fronting up and going for it and i hope it does work, but i still think it will be a bit of a cringe fest....... I look forward to being proved wrong.

It's a fair comment, realistically any project like this will be tinged with trepidation even for fully paid up fanboi lackeys like myself but i'll be looking on the brightside until we see the finished product.

I used to do a bit of work on TV and always promised I would never go the other side of the camera but when we were invited to go on I said yes as I think it should be good for the game.
