Showing people (the programme presenters) working in a caravan while it is being towed - highly illegal.

    It was filmed using chroma key/green screen technology. They weren't in the caravan.

    I would guess anyway.

    Sad to see what Panorama has been reduced to.

    It told you nothing that people analysing polls haven't been telling us for weeks. Waste of 30 minutes,

    Totally pointless programme that must have cost a fair few bob shuttling Bacon and Silver and film crews across the Atlantic and back.

    Another clear example of the BBC dumbing down as Richard "it's all about me" Bacon gets 30 minutes to airtime to tell us something we all knew.

    Panorama is being reduced to the level of Newsnight.

    And towards the end of the programme ......
    Bacon: so Nate Silver, who is going to win the election?
    Silver: I have no idea

    Thank you gentlemen. May I collect my half hour back on the way out?

    Just received this e-mail from the BBC:-

    Dear MR XXXX,

    Thank you for contacting us about ‘Panorama: Who Will Win the Election?’. We raised your concerns with the programme team, who responded:

    “The use of the Airstream in the film is something we thought a lot about. We wanted to create the feel of a road trip as Richard brought Nate around four different constituencies and having Nate and Richard in the back of the Airstream was a way of doing this. The company we used were recommended to us by the umbrella group for these types of caravans in the UK. The driver had all the relevant training, insurance and qualifications and along with our own risk assessment, assisted us in making sure what we were doing was safe.

    Richard and Nate actually spent very little time in the back of the Airstream. These sections were filmed in just two places one of which was a private road. The filming while moving, was limited to these short sequences and were done with a fixed camera inside the Airstream so no camera person would be in there at the same time.

    The driver took special care in where Nate and Richard were positioned so as to ensure their weight was distributed equally and drove slowly during filming. As soon as the sequences were filmed, Richard and Nate transferred to a crew vehicle. The shots taken of the road and exterior were filmed using a fixed camera mounted on in the inside of the Airstream when Nate and Richard were not inside. The editing of these shots in with the interior shots may have given the impression that they were in the Airstream at times when they were not. We understand the concerns that filming in a moving Airstream can be dangerous but given the limited and carefully supervised way the sequences were filmed, we feel it was done responsibly.

    Furthermore, the production team took great care to ensure that all relevant laws and guidelines were followed during the filming and took legal advice.

    They followed the Health and Safety Executive guidelines on Safe Filming and Recording Involving Vehicles, and BBC guidelines for filming in moving vehicles and a full risk assessment was undertaken prior to filming.

    Thanks again for contacting us.




    So - it's OK for the presenters to be shown as if they are breaking the law but they are not doing so. :confused::confused:

    So that's all right then - errrr- not.

    Shame after that they didn't have enough time/resources to make an interesting programme after all that. There is an interesting evolution of polling from 'uniform national swing' to adjusting for the demographic features of each constituency and in this election to the making of national forecasts using individual constituency poll results.
