I disagree - apart from a few passing references to Heathrow's inability to recover from disruption, there wasn't too much in the way of unsubtle expansion propaganda (unless that's coming up in Part 3). All in all, the documentary struck me as a reasonable, albeit somewhat dumbed-down snapshot of LHR operations.

That said, the script could have benefitted from some proofreading:

"Heathrow is home to 80 airlines"
. Really??

"The Dreamliner is one of the fastest commercial airplanes [sic] in the world, reaching a groundspeed of over 675 mph". Only if you can guarantee a tailwind.
