Well the only time my partner and I were shadowed by a camera crew (in Toxteth in the 80s) they didn't believe anything we said, cut the interviews to make us out as racists - because that's what the programme was trying to prove - and didn't even thank us for stopping their car getting broken into. And that was for an OU sociology course! I've never believed any of their programmes since.
Apart from that, I liked this piece. It had pace and left me breathless. The kid would have got away from me. XD
Yeah, they always have their own agenda - like the guy who did The True Cost of Cheap Food last week, asking leading questions all over the place. 'Do you think supermarkets should improve the quality of their food but keep prices the same?' Who's going to say no to that? /rant
I'm glad you liked it. I definitely write better when I'm working towards a punchline.
Oh yes, the guy's questions spoiled the programme; they took a lot of the force out of his arguments. In fact it came across as if the whole point of the show was to get supermarkets to reduce their profits, rather than to improve the quality of their cheaper ranges.
The most interesting thing to me in that programme was the fact that even the cheapest, skankiest food was well above the legal minimum standard for meat content etc - which just shows how out of date the legislation is by comparison with current consumer expectations.

That director is dead though.
