Hidden Britain by Drone - Ch4

[iwan_canobi]

Anyone watching this? It's on Channel 4, watching it on demand at the moment. Hosted by Tony Robinson. I'm assuming some guys on here had something to do with it? I seem to remember someone posting videos of the army site and in the tunnels?

I watched bits of it....

I thought it might be interesting but its Tony Robinson waffling about stuff I either know or have no interest in, it just happens to have been filmed using 'drones' :blank:

Yeah, after the initial intro showing you the camera ships there isn't really any mention of them which was a bit disappointing. I got a bit bored half way through and turned it off. Would have been nice if they did a 'making of' type bit like they do in the BBC docs, then you could actually see footage of them flying in those locations. Some nice camera work though, and some brave flying from the look of how close they got to a lot of things!

I recorded and watched it last night. From my own viewpoint, I found it fascinating, particularly that piece about the Royal Mail underground railway. I've known about that since I was a child (aged about 10 in the late 1950's - I'm ancient ;))

My only "negative" thought is that it might encourage some people to buy and use a drone as a means to "spy" on the neighbours and therefore get our interest a bad name.

Taken all round though, a very interesting program - can't wait for next Sundays episode.

I forgot to tape the first one so tried watching it yesterday on 4 On Demand, standard definition only and 7 adverts every 15 minutes that they force you to watch by not allowing you to fast forward through them. I'll wait for the inevitable repeat and watch it then.

What's the point of flying a camera down a tunnel, or in a ww2 bunker? Nice pictures though.
