Hi Apollo,
Airport was a 'fly-on-the-wall" documentary filmed at London Heathrow- it was very popular here in the UK for a while, and quite a few series were made. Basically, it followed various people who worked at the airport around (mainly customer service types, although an ATCO was on it once) filming them doing their jobs. If you want more info, try going to the BBC website,
www.bbc.co.uk and have a look round there.
A similar programme is "Airline"- that's still running here, and has been for ages. It's a similar sort of thing except about Easyjet. It mainly consists of the same stories every week- ie. passenger turns up late for flight, is told he's too late to check in, passenger goes off on a rant about how he'll never use the airline again, and you wouldn't get this on BA, passenger returns with tail between his legs and pays the £40 transfer fee etc etc. It's repetative but entertaining. There was a much better series (the first ever series of Airline) which was about Britannia- there was very little shouting on that one, it was more about the running of the airline. ITV filmed both,
