An enjoyable documentary for once, without all the sensational repetition that usually passes for narrative comment on this kind of programme. Yes, a bit of an advert for Airbus, but not always overly complimentary as it did show us some of the problems encountered. About as balanced as you could expect it to be, given the makers were granted 'exclusive access' to the development for a number of years, and Airbus might quite rightly expect some payback.
Highlights for me; the amazingly convoluted logistical process leading to final assembly (I never realised it was quite so fraught with obvious problems), the 'punching' scene prior to the flight test where one engineer was assisting the other with the securing of his helmet, the RR blade failure test and the panic after bird s##t was found in the intake of one of the engines on the flight test a/c.
