Outback Pilots on Ch 7
Really hope that it doesn't get subject to the dramatic voiceovers and manufactured drama that most reality shows do (but fear I am going to be disappointed)
Spoiler Alert: It does

How convenient. I shall be out of the Country and unable to watch it.
Won't have to buy a new TV then...

So, just finished. What do you think?
I didn't think it was too bad, quite enjoyed it actually. Usual exaggerated weather issues flying into BDV, making it look worse than it was
. I thought that Trevor's brother was keen to hand swing a 3 blade prop.
The croppy works bloody hard and the Heli Pilots are nuts.....
Sped up video a couple of times of the Helos but at least the Turbine Air Tractor actually sounded like a Turbine!!

Believe me I've seen pilots hand swinging bigger 3 bladed props than the ones one a C210

The show was pretty good IMO.
The voice over.. repeating what just happened 30 seconds ago, annoys the F out of me.
It was a much more watchable reality TV show than the brain dead cooking, singing, renovation, real-estate and relationship **** than adorns every free to air channel at present.

The commentary is crap and they subtitles erroneous:-
"Business Centre this is Rescue 510", and getting "airbourne". If that is their production standard it makes you wonder about anything else that is said.
The crop duster bloke is a task master, it seems. Putting the second pilot straight to work after he's just flown 2000km to get there, and in a day, too. What would that be, around 8 - 10 hours ferry time??
The whole program is beset with errors ..............

Nothing that couldn't be fixed by getting a pilot to run an eye / ear over the subtitles. Clearly the starring crew wouldn't have time to go to studios to do that stuff. Might be easier if they just sorted the intercom audio recording issues in the helo.
Maybe a lot of errors but tell me one reality TV show that is 100% factual. Its for entertainment, not an educational documentary.

I'm with Pata.
Sloppy editing which casts a shadow over the whole production. The masses wouldn't know the shortfalls but even a semi decent pilot would. Mind you the masses probably think Reality Shows are just that and not fabricated, staged and over-dramatised rubbish.
