i always assumed that when hammond talked about being in argentina he was taking the pi$$ and it was actually filmed in berkshire or somewhere similar.
got into a convo at work and told her not to be so gullible theres no way bbc would pay for 12 mop to fly halfway round the world and accomadation for 3/4 days to take part in something that could easily be filmed here .
i cannot believe that she is right and i am wrong , how can licence fee money be justified on this pish

Surely flying people out there and paying an Argentine production company to make the programme is far far cheaper than building all that set-up themselves ?
Incredibly she is indeed right - this is well known.
I assume Britain and Europe do not have waterparks.

But isn't this the one where Hammond is in a studio in this country and only the contestants are in Argentina, so to an extent the OP is right, just not as right as his missus?
Hammond not in argentina....
Concept owned by endemol. Cheaper for lots of reasons to fly people in and sell the concept world wide.
From wikipedia:
Total Wipeout is hosted by Richard Hammond, who commentates as the contestants attempt to complete the challenges. He is also seen in a studio to provide certain links within the show. Although the main footage is filmed in Argentina,[2] Hammond records his sections from a studio in Britain. Meanwhile, Amanda Byram interviews the contestants during the show and continues to stay on the sidelines as they go through the course.[3]

BBC Scotland flew a news team to Altnaharrah when it was the coldest place in Britain last week and interviewed a local lass about how she felt about it. Local lass said she thought it was great Altnaharrah was getting in the news.
in the great scheme of producing a tv show id imagine a few seats on easyjet dont stretch the budget too much
Our Health and Safety laws would not permit that show to be made.
my mate has been on it, and believe me its true. Its to do with insurance, and disclaimers, they baiscally had to sign their life away incase they go injured.
The set is used by about 30 different TV companies constantly, they are making a mint...
