This was on the other evening, having seen the first episode I was unimpressed. It’s some sort of cops come bomb disposal thriller, with emotionally challenged characters who don’t seem to follow basic safety procedures. I had half an eye on it when management had the second episode playing but woke up when I saw the SOCO guy with a camera photographing the scene.

As a keen photographer I was interested to see the kit being used. The latest Nikon mirrorless with a ring flash? Err, no. I could have sworn it was a Zenit SLR that was being wielded. An Eastern European camera popular in the film era as a cheap entry into the hobby. Never a professional’s piece of kit and a complete antique in these digital days. Still it didn’t matter much as it looked like the cameraman was attempting to take close up images with a long telephoto lens. Possible but very unlikely. I was going to look at it again online to check, but lost the will to do so. Surely though TV and film makers know this stuff?
