BBC Two Goes Underground

Janice Hadlow, Controller, BBC Two, today announced a major new documentary series with unique access to London Underground.

The 6x60-minute series, The Tube, takes viewers behind the scenes of the world's oldest, biggest and busiest underground train network.

The series will tell the inside story of one of the most critical moments in the tube's history as the underground network undergoes the biggest upgrade of any railway system ever planned in the world.

Cameras will go to the places viewers have always wanted to see – behind the hoardings to reveal the massive new engineering works, inside the command centre to see what running this most complex of train sets is really like and illuminating a hidden underground world that only comes to life at night.

BBC Overstaffing At Dale Farm

The BBC has been accused of "ludicrous over staffing" today after a newspaper reported that it had more reporters than there were protesters at the Dale Farm traveller eviction.

While the number of activists dwindled, the BBC still had six satellite crews, a handful of local correspondents and a team of documentary makers on the six acre site, according to the report.

They had their own caravan within the compound to provide accommodation and refreshment for the 30 or so staff working on the story.

Don Foster, Liberal Democrats culture spokesman, said: "That is ludicrous over staffing and hardly good way to get public sympathy for the 20 per cent budget cuts facing the BBC."

The BBC's renting of the caravan even led to some light ribbing from their rivals at ITV, who boasted they were making do with a tent.

Damon Green, the ITV News Correspondent, tweeted: "We have a tent, the BBC have a caravan at DaleFarm. Delivering Quality First".
