Review: The History Channel’s adrenaline-charged sub-zero trucking series was an unexpected hit when it moved to Channel 5 this year, apparently trouncing ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Deal Or No Deal’ and ‘Neighbours’ in the ratings! Whether or not that bold claim is true, Ice Road Truckers is a bizarrely compulsive docu-drama about some of Canada’s most fearless road-hogs. Rick, TJ, Drew, Hugh, Jay and Alex ply their trade on one of the world’s most dangerous stretches of ‘road’ – a strip of ice 350 miles long, built on frozen lakes, connecting the frosty diamond mines in Northern Canada with civilisation. With just eight weeks in which to make their deliveries, the Ice Road Truckers risk life and limb in the most treacherous conditions imaginable. The camaraderie in the face of adversity is heartwarming and you find yourself fully rooting for these strange Canadian men and their gigantic trucks.
