What a miserable, poorly presented, badly edited, inaccurate programme! Unworthy of the once great Panorama branding. It made me ashamed to be a licence payer (even if I watched it on my laptop). The fair-minded, independent FTers in the BA forum will recognise what a stitch-up this was.

All of the usual inaccuracies came out, though when the dreadful presenter got his face-to-face meeting with MOL he did very badly indeed.

Good that they got a real passenger using 2p return flights. Bad that the miserable presenter said most people couldn't book at short notice to benefit from the 2p fares. Wrong, Mr White. The promotional fares have a 14-day advance booking. Bookings at short notice are expensive.

[Not in the programme] Visa Electron cards are used to pay for an astonishing proportion of FR tickets - 35+%? perhaps more. [In the programme] Visa Electron cards are not issued here. Wrong, Mr White. What is this Visa Electron card in my pocket? The young passenger mentioned his, from Barclays IIRC.

Etc etc etc.

The programme is at www.bbc.co.uk/panorama.e
