I was running a raid last week, I took with me some police, a couple of other agencies, and a BBC cameraman.

The BBC are doing a fly on the wall documentary on one of the other agencies I brought along, so asked to film the raid. We gave permission, as long as mine and Pauls faces aren’t shown as it’d cause problems with the undercover stuff we do.

The BBC reckon there are 4 ways to do it, either only film us from the back, pixelate out our faces, only film us from the neck down, or, as it’s on digital film, just totally remove us from the film and replace us with a hatstand, or (my favoured option) a monkey. I can’t see them picking that option tho!

I think they were secretly relieved they wouldn’t have to show our faces, there were genuine concerns we’d scare children when it goes out before the watershed.

I don’t know whether what they filmed will make it into the final cut, but if it does, it’s gonna be shown in the new year, will post more when I know it!
