"I don't doubt for a minute that the programme was enjoyable and entertaining for the main audience".
In that case it achieved its aim, laudably. It wasn't intended to be a training video or an instructional aid. It painted for its chosen audience a realistic, entertaining and positive picture of RAFAT training up to PDA.
I didn't notice an obsession with the two fatalities either. They were mentioned briefly and in context. Don't forget that there are still members of the team who were there when they happened and they have pulled themselves back up to reach the standard that they are now at.
