Isn't there a danger of taking this sort of thing a bit too seriously ? This is just "entertainment" in the broadest sense of the word. if you surf through the channels at any time of the day you would be hard pushed to find at least half a dozen not showing some form of human survivor true dramas. A bit of background music with clips of someone hanging from a tree branch over a flooded river/ or dangling from a ferris wheel. Interject this with a few interview clips and it seems to make for marketable TV.

The only bit of this programme that made you or I watch was the title. I don't think it would deter many folk from setting off on business or flying on their holidays any more than Police chase videos or holidays from hell type programmes would. Like any other programme some will find it interesting, some will not. If you want your own brand of responsible journalism or entertainment it is just one click away.
