I'm afraid Martin Durkin, the guy behind the show, has been widely
discredited.

I'm afraid you're wrong.

About one of his other programs:

<quote>
The Independent Television Commission handed down one of the most
damning verdicts it has ever reached: the programme makers distorted by
selective editing the views of the interviewees and misled them about
the ontent and purpose of the programmes when they agreed to take part.

WOW!! On that, NBC, CBS and ABC would have been history 40 yers ago.


The above is from:
http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2000/03/16/modified-truth/

Wikipedia also has an entry on him, and it specifically mentions the
above show. A interviewee from the show, again, claims to have been
mis-represented:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Durkin_(television_director)

That URL looks funny to my but I copied it straight out of the address
bar, let me know if it causes problems and I'll post again with a
correction.

See link above.
