Anyone seen this show yet? Freakin crazy stuff...British couple doing 10 years in Mexico for trying to smuggle cocaine into Amsterdam.

Usually involves some Brits on holiday getting conned into doing something dodgy for a bit of money...


Pretty entertaining show

Yeah I like it, its a pretty good show. The one's I have seen are mostly British people getting sent to some hell hole jail.

This really happened to a girl I knew in HS. It's actually a Locked Up abroad episode. She was on the dance team. She got approached by some guy in a club in Houston to go on an all expenses paid vacation PLUS 20 grand to go to Bangladesh.... and bring back lots and lots of Hash. Needless to say, she got busted in the airport... and was rotting in one of their jails, until Governor Richardson of New Mexico got her out.... lucky girl. Busted abroad... at 17.

Who the fuck wants to go to Bangladesh? Sad that people can be so materialistic to think $20G is worth the best years of one's life. I guess it's better than the dumbasses who rob 7-11s for a lousy couple hundred bucks though.

awesome show!

They run marathons of it almost every weekend, but I forget which channel. Natgeo or discovery.

Yeah that's an interesting show. It amazes me how naive some people are.

I liked the episode about the guitarist who got caught in Venezuela and the guy who was kidnapped in the philippines by some terrorists and one old guy helped him get out of there with a small boat.
