feeling listless

TV For some reason, the BBC feels the need to hide it's best programming on BBC Two on a Tuesday night. The Day Britain Stopped tells the story of what might happen if the 'integrated' transport system in the UK could not cope anymore. It made for shocking viewing and would doubtless have made some people question the idea of leaving the house let alone getting on a plane anywhere near Gatwick Airport. You can watch the ninety minute programme online by following the link above if you've got the time and Real One (broadband recommended).

I had planned to write a review of the piece but it's pretty difficult to make sense of in words. I will say how gratify it was that so many other news organisations were prepared to offer their services to make the piece as authentic as possible (even Gary Lineker and Alan Hanson), and congratulate the acting of the interviewees in the programme; very easy to forget that this hasn't happened yet / hopefully won't ever happen.
