SWMBO and I both thought the programme was poor - the first edition had lots of potentially good stuff ( SAR, Typhoon, LATCC etc ) but wandered all over the place with no continuity and a dreadful commentary. Too many shots of people's noses and hands, and 'bosses' wandering around trying to look important and busy.
From an ATC point of view shots of radar screens with no attempt to explain to the layman what they are looking at. It would only have taken a few minutes for someone to have stood in front of a screen describing what all the 'writing' means i.e. callsign, level, speed etc - and to explain some of the RT that could be heard.
I know Swanwick ATCO son and D-i-L were not impressed - be interesting to see what their mate Steve Moore ( management 'star' last night ) thought.
