Hi guys... apologies for allowing this thread go neglected, not often I find myself not spending enough time on the internet. Thanks again to those who stickied the thread, and equally so to everyone who posted up...
As for the programme itself, it's not to be happening, though the producer who wants to make it was resurrecting the research this year, having not come up with enough last year, and so I think we can hope there is a long-term interest in the thing being made. As for the reasons this time around, the whole wing-mirror legislation change for 2009 seems to be on its way to becoming common knowledge amongst cyclists, but additional to that there also seems to be the criminalisation of death by careless driving, whereas now one can do whatever they want in their many-hundred kilogram car so long as they are not being 'dangerous'. Basically, with the government putting some changes in place, the question doesn't really (I'm presuming) have that much media clout until these policy alterations prove ineffective... hopefully that won't be found too overwhelmingly the case.
Anyhow... thanks once more to all of you... see you around the roads, take care.
