Has anyone been watching this? This week was about fare dodging. The sense of misguided entitlement some people have is shocking! 'I ain't paying 8 quid to go two stops!' and the complete and utter twat who just kicks down the barrier to get through and abuses the staff who challenge him!? A complete cock end [mad]

The lad in Derby who makes the new tube trains: 'I've never been on one of these... I hope the people that do appreciate the work that I do' Smile

I watched it and I was shocked at the behaviour of the bloke who was fare dodging. Swearing and getting aggressive when he was in the wrong Hmm

It's amazing how many people have a sense of entitlement and think its ok to treat the staff like that!

Am I right in saying it's a 6 part series?

I know, he was a shocker [mad]

Yes it's a six parter, next week is about people jumping in front of trains apparently Sad

Thank you, I think it will fill the hole left by C4's Coppers coming to an end this week.

yes, we watched it last week too. It's a good series so far, really interesting!

the fare dodgers are such tits though. I wonder what the ratio is of male to female persistant fare dodgers, it seemed to be predominantly males on the show.

I love how enthusiastic the TFL people are about their jobs too - it's refreshing to see.

I've really been enjoying it - although I have to keep shouting at the tv that there are some nice people out there who pay for their fares and are pleasant when things go wrong. I could not cope with people shouting in my face when the lines aren't running. Does anyone know what happened last week with the girl who got stabbed? Unbelievable.

I watched it too and was amazed at the bloke (with the red headphones on) who was swiping in then straight out at the same station with his oyster card.

Was amazed at how they tracked him down using print outs/video footage etc..

is really good - loved the fare enforcement woman speaking to foreigners in an accent !

She was really funny.
