It would help if they got some of the basic commentary right. In the last
episode the narrator waffled on about "down at acton depot" while the screen
clearly showed a shed full of victoria line trains.


There's a fly-on-the-wall UK Customs show on at the moment which keeps
showing a photo of Heathrow (end of runway 23) with a voice-over saying
it's Gatwick!

Had to laugh out loud the other day, when they said "and it's not just
passengers smuggling goods in..." over the shot of a passenger plane
landing. Both of us watching immediately said "the crew", but it turned
out they meant "in freight shipments", and the shot of the plane was
completely out of context.
