James: Getting BRMB gave us an idea. We were up in the daytime trying to get people to agree to film their nightshifts. They were presumeably in bed whilst we were calling. So we decided to email radio stations with a request to read out our requirements. Indeed, this is how we got Steve Hardwick at ATP taxis (which ended up as the Mandy doc).
The downer on the day was that Maverick came in with a compromise. They had brokered a deal with Channel Four that said we would deliver three documentaries instead of four, amd we’d deliver them a week later. Gabby and I were really annoyed at the time, but in retrospect, it was probably a good idea. We agreed to take the compromise, if it meant we made something instead of nothing.
