24.7.11 Police Interceptors

Amazing what counts as entertainment these days.  Police Interceptors on Channel Five decided this week to include a section on a fantastically demanding topic, with the film crew at hand to capture the input of two policemen.  So, a police vehicle, two expensive officers, a sound man, a camera man, and probably someone else to support them.  Then, the narrator did his stuff to present how the major incident panned out.

What was the nature of the issue requiring so much attention and expense?  A taxi driver had not been paid £11 by two people he'd dropped home after their night out drinking!  Through this programme, we were able to witness the fantastic skills of the two officers, as they managed to relieve two slightly inebriated people of a tenner (a compromise amount) while the Channel Five crew caught it all on camera, to serve up as entertainment.  Riveting!  Hmmmm . . . . Police, Camera, Action it certainly was not.
