Arkroyal and the legendary John Farley call it correct.
The programme was utter rubbish. I tuned in expecting a 50 minute, BBC style short but effective documetary that outlined the aircrafts History, the events leading up to the accident and all that has currently been done since, with BA and AF to get her back where she should be - on revenue flights. The programme from the very start was backed with sad and tragic sounding music, with the kind of still photography you would associate with a murder hunt. An insight to the backgounds of the people, friends and families involved was the backbone of the programme, with a star perfomance by a waitress at the hotel where the aircraft came down. All of us have major condolences for every one involved in this tragic event. The poor people of Borrusia Munchen-Gladbach, the aircraft crew, and the four people who died at the hotel. But, to call the programme "The History of Concorde" defies belief. I guess if you make a real bad programme, about a well touchy subject, youve got to call it something interesting to get the public to watch it.
Thank god for John Hutchinson. The French didnt like what he said much - we arent out to annoy people, but if you are just relaying factual accounts as John was, it wouldnt be right to shoot the messenger, would it......?
Too much drama, not enough fact.
