Good prog I thought, is it a series, I'd like to see some local action

[betty boop]

nah nothing of me, I retired just after the cameras were installed. its based on the 4 busiest stations Tower, Brighton Torbay and I assume Blackpool. unless they expanded it afterwards. I caught 5 mins and will watch on Iplayer but it was a bit false, all the station shots for the flood team were staged TV stuff but Im holding judgment until I see it fully.

Unfortunately as my son is now production crew for real life documentaries on mainly BBC and Ch 4 Im informed on how staged they are and how esp on Ch4 they use the same formula to make additive/shocking TV, facing the camera sob stories, Love ur family in danger etc. mainly to shock or to grab attention not necessarily the most factual. lets not go near the big brother porn documentary

I enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the week that they have our local Torbay station on.
