Airport Reviews

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Fly on the wall documentaries hit an all time low as we get to follow the day to day running of Heathrow and Gatwick airports. From baggage control to check-in, air hostesses to pilots, it's all here, in this half hour show. IS IT ANY GOOD: No! It's not any good. It was OK for a one off, but a whole series? ...  Read the complete review

For some reason I love the BBC's Airport. It shows you all sorts of problems and things that happen in airports. It shows you the illigal immigrants that try and get in to the country, and also the great thing they do, where they don't compar your face to the passport, they take you photo and compare that tp your ...  Read the complete review

Airports. Funny places. Planes come. Planes go. People do much the same - come and go. In an ideal world. But falling back from that picture, lets analyse how airports really work. You arrive, hot and tired from a long journey. Fight to park the car, gasph at the £5 per hour car park fee, tell the kids to stop fighting and then wander ...  Read the complete review

I am not a great one for watching television. In fact compared to most people I don’t bother with it very much. There are a few programmes however that I will never voluntarily miss and “Airport” is one of them. This, at times very funny docusoap on the workings of Heathrow Airport, is of never ending fascination to me. ...  Read the complete review

Until you have watched this programme you do not realise how much does go on and happen behind the scenes. Basically it is the life in a day at the airport showing all the things not only they but the passengers have to put up with. A great programme that makes you wonder how your holiday flight went off so well! You ...  Read the complete review

It is really sad to admit but when programmes like this come on i turn into a zombie. All outside distractions are blocked out and for half an hour i dont move. It got so bad that when my boyfriend phoned the other day he got a less than enthusastic response and put the phone down on me. I work in retail and i have to side with the ...  Read the complete review

There must be something terribly wrong with me. I get a tingling feeling everytime I hear even a mention of this show! I love it!! But why? All those stroppy passengers, even stroppier airline staff, delays, lost baggage, lost children, lost tickets, missed flights...surely it should depress me? Fortunately my job is less hectic. The ...  Read the complete review

Trigger-happy TV is back on the airwaves, and I know that I am keeping my schedule free for Friday night! This hilarious show has all the things that we have thought about doing but never had the bottle or the assistance to do it. We have all thought of making scenes “ I wonder what the women would say if I said your place or mine”. ...  Read the complete review

Airport is yet anothet of those "fly-on-the-wall" documentaries that the TV networks seem to love churning out by the bucket fulls. Airport, as the title suggests, acts as a fly on the wall of London's Heathrow airport. Here, a BBC camera crew follows around the staff and lost passengers who are experiencing the day to day turmoils ...  Read the complete review

Airport was one of a few fly on the wall documentaries made by the BBC a while ago and while others like Hotel have faded into obscurity it has remained as the most popular. The concept is simple as wiht other shows of this type. Cameras follow employees of Heathrow airport during their day to day jobs. Ok not the most exciting and lively ...  Read the complete review

Airport is another of the cheap tv programmes that follow ordinary people around on their day to day jobs. The difference with this one is that although cheap it is very entertaining viewing. The show's main star has to be Jeremy the very camp, portly service manager for Aeroflot. His jovial manor and wity personality are a joy to ...  Read the complete review

Airport is a fly on the wall documentary of an airport with all the ups and downs of a day. It is really interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes that you normally don’t see. How they deal with drunks and nervous passengers. You really do get to know the people working at the airport and it has brought fame to a lot of them one ...  Read the complete review

Airport is the original fly on the wall series which looks at the lives of people that work at the airport, this programme centres around Heathrow Airport and the worker's their. It looks at both their personal lives and their work life. It broadcasts the usual trouble with customer's, flight delays, and all the other problem's that ...  Read the complete review

Airport just isn’t as good as ITV’s Airline! With Airport who had its old hero’s such as Jeremy (who’s probably the only Russian speaking Englishman) it has sub-sided and Airline has over taken it with its more happy stories. The problem with Airport is that it has too many unhappy stories such as people falling ill and ...  Read the complete review

Its only when you actually watch fly on the wall documentaries like airport that you realise what people are like in specific situations. We dont get what we want, so the staff are useless and dont know what theyre doing. To actually see what goes on behind the scenes in an airport is a real eyeopener, from looking after pets, to trying ...  Read the complete review

I have always watched this from the beginning, I think its agreat fly on the wall documentry, there's alot of these around now and they are very popular. Seems that people love watching watch others really get up to!!. Jeremy who continues to be very popular has gone on to do further things in TV now since he was in Airport, he has ...  Read the complete review

AIRPORT This programme has really opened my eyes to how the general public are treated but unfortunately it is nowhere as good as the first. It’s hard to believe in this day and age that there is no courtesy or politeness left in people who work solely within the public service. It appears if we don’t like what we are ...  Read the complete review

I am also in agreement with fellow writers that the first series was much better than this poor second series. Even though I don't think that Jeremy Spate should be fronting a number of BBC shows, I do feel that he did has a charisma that is deeded for these shows to works. And the first series was certainly better than other Fly on ...  Read the complete review

As a fly on the wall programme, I have always rated Airport quite well but this new series does not seem to have the same appeal as the last. I think Jeremy's personality was bubbly and appealing, which has obviously been picked up by the BBC as he now presents his own programme. Since his departure there seems to be no-one ...  Read the complete review

The 'fly on the wall' documentary phenomenon has really taken off and Airport is one of the longer running shows, I think about 4 series have been made so far. BBC really hit on a winner when they dreamed this one up though! Basically each series focuses on about 6 or 7 people, all of whom work at London's Heathrow airport. ...  Read the complete review
