One would need to do this sort of thing with extreme care because the current standard of TV reporting is almost without exception abysmal.

The problem is that it is not possible to retain a right to review the finished job and object if it contains ridicule of GA.

Any any coverage of GA will be full of ridicule, especially the whole flying school environment if one is looking for sensationalism. Straightforward flying to interesting places (examples) will be just plain boring to the general viewer.

Many years ago a reasonable attempt was made with a programme called the Air Show which covered light GA among big airline etc stuff and that was fairly well done. They threw in some silly stuff when a not unattractive but implausibly nervous journalist did her PPL, with the instructor holding her hand every minute of it including talking to her on her first solo with a handheld radio to make sure she didn't crash...
