It's impressive in one sense, but if you forget about where it's being
filmed a bit like watching Big Brother with the sound down i.e. BORING.

On the other hand, the way they have to lock a leg around something just to
keep still and 'upright' is more than a little disconcerting as there's
always a tension in their pose.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. I'm old enough to remember watching
the Gemini telecasts, with their awful sound quality, poor pictures, camera
simulations. Nonetheless I was thrilled. When I compare those images with
what I was watching today, it just blows me away. I couldn't even grouse
(at least not much) with the periods of silence, because the sound, when
something was being said, was leagues ahead of my childhood experience.
