Potentially they do because we have a chronic inability to laugh at ourselves? Do you think paper wholesalers were outraged at the show the "office?"

We are hardly our own worst enemies due to our inability to have a laugh, we are our own worst enemies when we stand by and in some cases support the wholesale destruction of terms and conditions and safety standards. This has predominantly been self inflicted, it certainly hasn't been brought about by tv comedy or movies like flying high!

Watch it, have a laugh, and if you find that you cant laugh at an industry that everyone else seems to be laughing at, then maybe "your holding on too tight, and loosing your edge!" Anyone have the number for "truckmasters?"

Agreed. I have a copy at home and watch it every time I start to take myself too seriously.

Lighten up!

Did anyone else notice the name of the "Technical consultant" in the credits at the end of 3/3 from the first post?

Yes I did notice the Technical Consultant BD.

I thought it was brilliant. A bit slow at the beginning but it just got better.

How do they hold their composure and I nearly fell off my seat in part 3 when the Captain started to wander.

Good laugh.
