Im sure that a similar documentary about Doctors or Architects would be equally badly constructed.
Spot on OR. We get lots of surgeons desperate to allow these fly on the wall documentary companies into hospitals to puff up their ego. They are cheap entertainment - cheap that is for these often fly by night companies that pay the participants nothing and are sometimes nothing more than a couple of Go Pros taped to the operating lights or the dashboard of the police car who then sell out at £1000 a minute plus repeat fees. They disrupt the subject and misrepresent what is happening BUT to many people, including I suspect Easyjet, any publicity is good publicity. How much would it cost Easyjet to run 30 minute adverts every week? Entertainment yes, documentary no.
