I saw one of the old stars on the Channel 4 programme last week, The Worlds Most Luxurious Airline, still as camp as ever!
However, as you can tell by the title, it had nothing to do with BA.

100 years of BA documentary
I’m not sure if it’s already been mentioned here, but on Channel 5 at 9pm on Tuesday 1st May there is the first part of a 2-part documentary entitled “British Airways: 100 years in the sky”.

Getting fed up of these programmes. Once they were novel and informative but now they are just derivative, slot fillers.
There are other airports in the UK!

it would be so much more interesting to have a programme on a tiny airport. ISC springs to min. Plenty of movements in season, quiet as anything out of season, fairly often suffering weather delays, shuffling passengers around for weight and balance considerations - it has more real human interest but replaces the big jets with tiny planes.

Part of the problem with all these "reality" series now is that the participants all seem to think that they are auditioning for Hollywood, any one of them now could be called "Heathrow: Britain's Busiest Airport: Your Big Break". 24 Hours in A&E is a prime example of something that started off niche, now it is just a wannabe talent show with people playing up to the cameras.
That said I'll probably still watch it !

Jeremy Spake went onto advertising Euronics electrical stores, that and picking up an honoury doctorate from Colcheser College, apparently.
They're all the same. The now regular series on Princess Cruises on ITV (same formula 24 mins long comprising 12 mins of new material interspersed with 12 mins of "background to series, coming up in this episode, coming up in part 2, short background to series, background to part 1, now in part 2, next week) features the same annoying Shore Excursions rep (Timothy), no matter which ship or where in the world he's on it. Obvious that Princess are just moving him around at the request of the TV producers. His job each week seems to be to assess a new wonderful tour they are planning to offer to tourists.
