No Doors!

Why can’t UK television programmes run reports like this?

Some of the reporting on the minimum ranges of the mortar and ammunition compatibility were somewhat wide of the mark but this is pretty hard hitting stuff and shows what can happen when access to information and acquisition officials (without a PR minder) is given.

Putting aside the actual technical issues (its a US programme) but what do you think of the report style and substance; are we too tame in the UK, not technically able, too restricted by information/personnel access or just not interested enough to do something like this?

How would the MoD react?
