My name’s Adnan, I’m writing to you from BBC Three. We are filming a very exciting new documentary series that focuses on the unsung heroes whose work extends into the hours between midnight and 6am. This would be part of a host of incredible programmes that we are planning to broadcast in Spring, speaking to various contributors who carry out services in these hours.
The dedication of the truckers and the staff at this time is nothing short of admirable, and we want to reflect this in the series. Having recently spoken with various truckers, we feel we can tell an incredibly engaging story regarding the world of night and early morning work in the trucking community.
We are hoping to begin filming in the next two weeks and be stationed at a truck stop in the West Midlands. We can have an initial chat on the phone so you can find out what we’re doing, which is a really positive piece, or it’d be really helpful if you could suggest anyone
My number is 07835 270 310, you can email me on mohammed.adnan06@bbc.co.uk, or you can respond on this thread as I will check back. And to all the truckers I have already spoken to you, thank you for being so great.
I’ve a suggestion, how about instead of just focusing on one evening in this Industry why not actually do a sort of series like they did for the Bin men…
You have the opportunity to show your appreciation for this Industry by showing the public and powers that be EXACTLY what is right/wrong about it, the stress’s on drivers, bosses’, the conditions…
instead of just showing a snap shot which lbh not many are really going to acknowledge once its 60mins are up.
You want to make a program to show the unsung hero’s, well I for one would find it far more interesting to really know what this particular industry is really about, rather than just another toss job of an effort such as the Stobart series.
Anyway best of luck with it, cant see too many drivers watching it as BBC3 s now online and I cant see the broadband signal being that great on the Hard shoulder of the 25 @3am…

That’s good but lets hope they choose wisely who’s on it then
Blimey so now we know for certain night trunkers are the unsung heroes of the industry.I could have told them that but we’re also too modest tell anyone.

Hope to heaven above we don’t have to watch another Mark bloody Dixon
Unlikely. This program is about truck drivers
That’s good but lets hope they choose wisely who’s on it then
Dozy, Carryfast, Contraflow, Robroy, Carl , Evil, Dipper ,Conor…And the Moaster.
That would make entertaining watching as far As I am concerned. It would have to be screened after the watershed due to the content that may just happen.
Another program of gripping hold the edge of your seat with tightly clenched buttocks.
Will he won’t she breath holding excitement excitement.
Yet another place where my TV licence is being wasted.

He’s asking for truck drivers. In your list is an idiot, a simian, a cartoon, somebodies dirty uncle who went to prison and a limper.
I for one would watch it (as long as Robroy approved). The main criteria should be that the programme includes regular posters on here then we can get a very true insight into their ‘characters’. Bring it on and start soliciting yourselves
