Imagine you're the head of programming at BBC 1 and you're toying with what to fill the prime time 9pm slot with tonight. It's the big one. It's the reason that the news was shuffled to 10pm. A chance to show what the BBC can do. Great programming at its best and all that.
So how did Traffic Cops 2007 end up on at this time? Quote: "Jamie Theakston narrates the documentary following traffic police as they deal with jobs as varied as coralling escaped horses and saving the lives of riders of dangerous scooters."
If ever there was a reason to subscribe to the Orange mobile phone network just to get the 2 for 1 cinema ticket offer on a Wednesday night, then this is it.
Fortunatley, for those of us stuck with the dreaded 02 contract rathern than the enlightened Orange, the other channels are looking better. Over on BBC 2, at 9pm, is the ever-excellent Heroes - tonight we get to see some of the baddies with their superpowers in actions.
But it doesn't just stop at that. We've also got the rather amusing "Holly & Fearne go Dating" (ITV 1, 10pm) which, sadly isn't quite what it seems. Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cottone basically go off and each find someone for a contestant to date.
Then there is Hell's Kitchen (ITV1, 9pm) but more on that tomorrow...

I really enjoy Traffic Cops - each to their own I guess!
