Aviation based docu-soaps.

I agree with you Mr Venturer. Airport/Airline seems to feature all sorts of odd tenuous links which have little, if any, connection to the aviation industry. This, I'm sure is of disappointment to those who watch the show because they have an interest in airlines and airports.

Perhaps we are all missing the point of such programmes. It is not to give an insight into the industry for the purpose of education, but to appease the masses who seem to have become obssessed with everybody elses lives. Welcome to the era of 'celebrity' where we can all have our five minutes of fame.

Does anyone remember a BBC aviation documentary series from the early 1980's called 'Diamonds in the sky' , presented by Julian Pettifer? Now that was a class series, and there has not really been anything like it since.

Dear BBC...
