HD, you left these off the list:
- Lots of people being asked to recount their memories and then breaking down in tears and feeling ghastly about it over again.
- A voice-over that is 'slightly breathless' to build the 'tension'. More tension = Male; More sympathy = Female.
- Folks wandering around a normal field saying, "I can't believe it all looks so normal now".
- Transitions and edits made up of a montage of swirling blue lights in darkness and the sound of emergency vehicle sirens.
- Where film does not exist and a graphic would be really useful to explain what happened - no graphic. Due to cost?
- Constructive analysis of what went wrong and whether it was just bad luck, due to ignorance, alcohol or malice???????
Sorry
Mr Bower, it's not personal and you have a job to do - BUT the folks who frequent this web site are more interested in facts and explanation than the sensationalism of the
Britain's Biggest Baby/Car Smash/Rescue/Whatevver told through sobs and personal points of view, unblemished by facts. That is not to say that there is no interest in 'human interest' stories just that explanation and facts are more helpful. We all know that TV has to save money and getting stories from us is easy.
I repeat, nothing personal against you, only the state of British television.
