I have long since given up hope of high quality research and propper
editing in shows like this. Now I just sit back and enjoy the vet
interviews and check out the "new" footage being used. One big change in
these docos over the past 5 years or so is their attempts to get "fresh"
footage instead of the same old tired stuff seen in show after show.
I recently saw the show on Tigers. While I learned nothing new (no
surprise), I did get to see a few Tiger vets interviews in the flesh that
I have read about. There was "new" footage too, so all in all I was
quite happy with it.
Steve
