A BBC crew were making a short documentary on Ginetta embarking upon the Silverstone 24hr race with a brand new car (the G50) from preparing to taking part.

It will be aired tonight - 15th October on BBC Yorkshire - and for those who do not have Sky or are out of the Yorkshire region, you can see it afterwards online on the BBC iPlayer.

The programme is called "Inside Out" - BBC Yorkshire - Tonight (15/10/08) - 7.30pm

Some awful footage of the crash. Did they consult Andy Neat's family before airing that?

Update's of andy's condition Here:

Only information given was that Andy was 'critical'. An update would have been appropriate I feel.

Thank for the heads up Jay.

Ben, quote from Sara (on the link you posted):

"Thank you for your comments and concern for Andy however the BBC had advised us of the transmission and we had already seen and approved the part of the documentary which showed Andy's accident last week. We were pleased that more focus wasn't place on the TVR and Andy due to the fact it was shown at 730pm. Our aim is still to protect the children from seeing it.
I think you may find there will be other programmes in the future that focus more on the TVR.

Andy is still making good progress.
Kind Regards

I'm sure you will have seen it but others may not have.

Like you and many others I was very surprised that the BBC did not give an update on Andy.
