999
Am reading a book about accidental deaths - quite interesting - but it got me thinking: whatever happened to 999? Did the producers run out of accidents to document? It used to be on BBC1 during the week and was presented by Michael Buerk. It was a bit annoying that the people in the featured stories always seemed to escape unscathed, and its 'how to avoid this happening' slots were too close to public information services - nonetheless, I watched it whenever it was on. Even the music was great.
Less fly-on-the-wall/do-up-your-house programmes, more reconstructions of real-life misfortunes!
