I've just watched the first episode of this series and it just seemed to be laughable, particularly the train crash, it was was so low budget that it was a joke! The commuter train accident was a bit of shaky camera work, then cut to a couple of old coaches in what was quite obviously some railway sidings, the rolling stock had not moved since privatization! A load of extras wandering around dressed as paramedics, police, firemen , etc.and some third rate British TV actors pretending to be police detectives looking very earnest and chatting as if they were at a cocktail party.
The story involved 16 passengers dead and hundreds of injured commuters on two coaches, talk about overcrowding! Where were the TV, the reporters?, this would have been a national incident, it even involved the Old Baily but it was played so low key that you thought they were talking about a parking fine.
