I got the feeling that Endemol would rather have been making a documentary about something else instead. And where did they find such miserable buggers to follow around? They cheered up nicely once they saw the show, but they didn't look like a cross-section of London to me.

The Money Program was covering music downloading. Pretty poor coverage, to be honest. The idea that the major labels might not be the examplars of rectitude was barely touched on, and neither would you learn that there other paid downloads sites besides iTunes (or, indeed, before iTunes). Not impressed.
