Very disappointing documentary about drones for the BBC. Windfall misled those who participated and cut the interviews which would have given the programme balance. Suggesting that racing drones could be 'weaponised' is ridiculous (3-6 minutes battery life, a few hundred meters range, no load carrying capacity, incredible skill required to fly them and the military block radio control frequencies). The 'impact test' was completely bogus. The presenter Aldo Kane confirmed in an interview on London Live a few days later (he sought to distance himself from almost everything in the programme). Many BBC complaints were submitted.
