All successful documentary production starts with one simple but highly effective tool. Research. Might have been missed here?

Very commendable to receive such recognition. Might be asking for too much, but I wonder if they can continue this level of CSR given they have just announced a huge operating loss.

I'm not aware of any low cost competition for BA on Tokyo or HK routes. If there was I might use it - but only if it meant a comfortable 12 hours!

To answer Womanforwoman, I think the answer is "yes", the police would treat anyone the same way, maybe even harsher? However, I do applaud you for noticing the one aspect of this case that most seem to rather flippantly forget, the 10 year old child who will suffer more than…

I've been trying to think of the physics of this. A car comes screaming along a bridge at 100km/h and hits another car. Assuming that the other car is driving at 60km/h, the combined impact (they were driving in the same direction I believe) would be 40km/h. Not insignificant, but…

@Knowbetter So in your opinion, there is little chance of Swine flu mutating with Avian flu into a strain that is easily passed between humans, but much more lethal? Precautions are wise. Remember that there is still a lot to learn about this strain. So being one out of 65…

How long will TV last in its present form? We will have access to online/downloadable programming soon, so how will variety shows last?

All a good thing - but how the industry reshapes itself will be very interesting!

My only criticism of the event is that it is a shame that the end of the race is so desolate. Wouldn't it be nice if the race ended with a decent size crowd watching? I'm guessing that the logistics would be too painful.

Actually, I think he is targetting a very small number of people. I don't know too many stocktraders who are in rural areas. Most are close to the markets (i.e. Tokyo/Osaka)!
