The War on Britain's Roads (BBC Documentary / tabloid tv)

It's a good post, but I would argue that the problem isn't that alleycats are filmed, it's that they happen at all.

Almost every profession and craft has competitions to find the best in their field.

That's all an alleycat is IMHO. Never viewed it as much more or less, perhaps I'm naive.

It's certainly no wilder than the many TTs that occur on Britain's roads in traffic every week.
