I don't think we should be dismissing TV programmes about the dire state of the armed forces (no mattter how rubbish) as ****e. It may not have got the detail right but the underlying truth was exposed and we should be grateful (considering that there are obviously a few people who still believe in solely using the 'proper channels') that the Nimrod issue got an airing. Lets not forget that a lot of the British public is unaware of the true depth of the problems facing some parts of the armed forces and the BBC (along with MPs and others) does have a role to play in demonstrating the problems and hopefully adding to the pressure that will hopefully see them resolved.
