  • It's unbelievable. I'm quite amazed it is even going to be broadcast.

    Today I watched this 12 minute video
    on Utrecht...and then read about C5's programme.

    The UK feels so backward and reactionary when you compare the two side by side.

  • Just reinforces my pretty poor view of media execs - cf. Jeremy Kyle & washing hands thereof

    Couldn’t give a shit about anything other than ratings & budgets - fuck all of the consequences

    (Always some exceptions to any sweeping generalisations, obvs)

  • This programme sounds like a heap of dangerous turd, but it's on Channel 5 - I don't think any random neutrals are going to watch it and think 'those cyclists, who I'd never really considered before, are awful and I must start behaving like a twat towards and around them' - it'll probably be watched by a few mouth-breathers who already think like that, or a very few reasonably-minded people who think 'wtf is this, cycling is a Good Thing'.

    Or maybe I'm stuck in my middle class elitist bubble...but Channel 5?
