Starts this Friday on Apple TV+:
I too don't have Apple TV. And I can also empathise with you on the not getting any link/access to the show when you took part. Happened to me and that was Scottish TV. Good kids utilising one of our Sea Kings and crew but when asked for a copy of the video for the chaps who took part!! Nah!!!!
I recently dumped Disney+ and, instead signed up to AppleTV and though the content is less it is far better. So I am looking forward to this one.
I also have Paramount + and Prime which are very good, with lots of varied content but I find the amount of content on Apple, that I like, to be disproportionately high. In a little over a month I have watched rather a lot of content, Ted Lasso, For All Mankind and a lot more. I recommend trying it.

Might work if you ask?
Other option: if you sign up for a subscription, you get a seven-day trial period in which you can cancel without paying. So wait until the whole show is out, sign up, watch within a week, and cancel. (Or: buy an Apple device, say if you need a new phone in the near future, and watch three months for free.) (Or or: grab a torrent.)Heh, a little over a week ago I got a Mac Classic (I responded to an ad in the local paper where someone gave it away to a good home for free) and browsing a previous owner’s files that are still on its hard drive, I found a letter he wrote in the early 90s to a Dutch broadcasting company, asking if it would be possible for him to get a video tape of a show he took part in in 1976
Too bad there was nothing to indicate whether he did or not.
I regularly search YT for the programme as a few of the series have appeared on YT but not the one in question. The unit wrote several letter to STV requesting a copy of the cameraman's shots but no response. Shame as there were some dramatic scenes of the SK coming towards the Heads of Ayr, first the rotor head appearing then the rest of the Sea King rising with a loverly red sun behind it. We spent all day doing whatever they asked and even put up with a so called comedians bad jokes!!!! I'll keep on looking though.
That is very unusual, BBC Scotland and Grampian were usually very good at supplying tapes of things locals were in, though lots changed when STV took over Grampian.
Was it an STV production, or ''for STV'' as that will alter who owns the show and who you need to request footage from?

It looks really cool and I'd like to watch it but I don't have apple tv and no intentions of getting it. Maybe it'll come to another channel in the future, who knows.
although tbh I wonder how realistic/accurate it will be.

Apple TV has set itself up to be the only showplace for the shows they buy/produce.
I don't appreciate being railroaded into paying for something that I don't want to, therefore I shall miss this one....
... Must admit though,apart from looking quite good visually, I'm not sure if it'll give a true representation of the all round air war...
... Just my thoughts obviously

Ah okay, I'll have to give it a miss then. I hope everyone who watches it really enjoys it!

it seem fair enough to me. Making this series must have been a significant investment for them so, of course, they will use it to attract viewers to their platform. This is not exactly unusual neither is it unfair.
I did actually have Apple TV when it first came out as a freebie after buying a new Mac. But found their programmes limited in number and never renewed due to the lack of available programmes!!
No biggie as I don't watch much tv anyway!!

Very possibly. It's certainly the producers you mentioned.
Never had Apple anything. Never will. I refuse to pay 1000 for something worth 300 just because it has a picture of an apple on it.

You also wouldn’t buy an Audi, I take it, then, because a Lada also gets you from A to B?
I happily buy Apple computers etc. not because of what’s on the box but because I find them easier to use than the competition — they don’t nearly get in my way as much as Windows does and there’s none of the aggravation you get when trying to keep a Linux system up to date (or just get it working at all). That they can be used for about twice as long as a Windows PC is also not an insignificant consideration.

I was very badly treated by Apple some years ago, and I vowed to never have anything more to do with them.

Yes, I was too and that's why I avoid them these days. Each to their own I guess
Are Audi made by Apple? Can a Lada do all the things an Audi can? Sounds like an Apple user clutching at straws if you ask me.
Apple are overpriced for what they are.
