I taped it too

Best TV Prog for ages.

How do we let CH5 know that so many of us appreciated it and want more!?

I would have thought that Joe Public would enjoy the programme as well. Screaming and attractive girlies, young blokes with relationship problems, 'schoolmastery' type gets come uppance on Nav (I thought that that was why the Instructor adopted his style, didn't he say as much?), the 'older woman' who wants a good time, will they pass/won't they, will brave ATC woman keep it up?. As well as the flying, the prog seemed full of the kind of real life soap stuff people watch these days. It was much more interesting than the Easyjet prog with tension built-up around "and will pompous business person get to check-in on time".

It was great to see bus drivers and postmen doing it, to dispell the popular belief that flying is only for rich people.

If you want the video, mail me and I'll send it.
