Channel 4 have never been known for shy or retiring programming. Tonight's 'The Plane Crash' was no different. On the face of it, a show dedicated to purposely crashing a Boeing 727 does seem particularly ostentatious. As an average viewer, how do we know this is really necessary and not purely made-for-TV nonsense? Of course we don't, but that's the faith we place in much of today's television schedule anyway, and this is more engaging than some of the terrible programmes currently in the TV guide.
