Funny how there was a dramatic problem for the cameras that was near disaster, resolved using a simple backup that was there ready. Then pretty much the exact same sequence happening in the U.S version of this documentary at their grid control room
@cmx75 I don't believe that this event was staged for the cameras, if that was what you were implying. There is a lot of effort put into predicting the exact electricity demand and then using this to instruct generators to match it. It is near impossible to get it exactly right and quite often a generator is needed at very short notice to meet a sudden rise in demand. It is a common solution to use a hydro-electric generator to solve this as they can produce electricity instantly.
all that effort for eastenders....... if only they didn't give in to demand,, then people would stop watching eastenders as powercuts would happen at that time, then our energy bills would lower.

@cmx75 Not saying the problem was staged, just saying it's funny how they make it more dramatic than it is for the cameras

Why can't they co-operate with the BBC media or TV Channel media in relaying info on the precise moment when a tv show ends?

It's funny because East Enders is such a stupid fucking program. It says a lot about England.
