At 7:30 for UK viewers.

They showed preview clips of St Maarten's, Lukla, and my favourite landing challenge Saint Barthélemy.

Sure to be taken to the dramatic media maximum but might be watchable.

This show aired over here on National Geographic some months ago and wasn't overly dramaticized. In fact, I thought on a couple of airports they actually DOWNPLAYED how dangerous it really is because they took shots of approaching aircraft on beautiful days with very little wind, which belied where the real danger in them is. I wouldn't want them to show a "bad" day, but a more representative day would have made it more poignant seeing the aircraft actually working to make the approach, not just lazily gliding in as if it was no big deal.

If it's the original Nat Geo commentary it will be good then, unfortunately we tend to have them redubbed for mainstream TV channels usually by someone who thinks idiots are watching :)
