  • Filmed on location in 1997 at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the show was a six-part BBC documentary, which followed the day-to-day running of the park. It was mainly focused on the rides and the park managers, Jim Rowland and Keith Allen. The film crews also spoke to Geoffrey Thompson and Amanda Thompson, the director and producer of Stageworks Worldwide Productions (which directs, produces and choreographs the shows within the park.)

    It's funny how they try to build tension as the clock ticks to the alleged detonation time as if viewers might not know nothing happened or had forgot that a theme park in the UK was bombed!

    Is it really such a high pressure environment? I can believe it in part but the dcoumentary seemed somewhat contrived in places. Only watched two episdoes as yet so we'll see.

      Yup, the stress of thousands of customers, possible ride break downs, b*mb threats (not so much noe as its all closed in) and staff illness. It is a high pressured job. X

    Good job that bomb didnt go off . The parks reputation would have been destroyed forever. Imagine having 45 mins notice and not evacuating . Criminal .

      @AndrewKeyz Před 4 lety +8

      Point is there was no bomb, just as JR suspected. He ran the park well and has good instincts to spot bluffing. The panic an evacuation would have caused would have been bad for reputation too.
