Agree absolutely, Eric. Hopefully the Harrier programme will be better, although I’m not holding my breath.

I hope it’s more accurate than the episode on the Lotus 25/33 Formula 1 car.
That programme was, frankly, appaling. Poor research, deliberate hiding of relevant information which didn’t match the premise of the programme, appaling use of reconstruction, useage of inappropiate historical footage (i.e. shots showing the wrong cars, the wrong races, the wrong drivers) – I could go on (and on and on).
