Hey guys... We're perhaps all seeing a few too many titles sounding like the above at present, but nonetheless, I need your help.
I'm working with a television production company at the minute, and we're looking to make a documentary for Panorama about the number of cyclists getting munched by trucks. Panorama are interested, but it needs to be a nationwide issue for them to take it on board, so at this stage all the recent tragedies in London are not going justify the programme in their eyes; to a lesser extent incidents in Oxford/Cambridge are valid, but not yet seen as representative of a national concern.
So, though we're mainly Londoners on here, I'm asking if anyone knows of incidents in hometowns, through friends elsewhere in the land, etc etc... that could be of use to me, and help get the programme made and a little more awareness raised.
Just to justify myself a bit, I'm a courier, and a fixed rider, and not some snotty-nosed toff hoping to forge a career in media. Which means it's fine to help out.
Thanks very much
Julian
