You couldn't make it up. But the TV producers did

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly clear that some television documentaries shown in the UK contain scenes that have been faked. Documentary producers generally feel that staging some action is necessary to move the story along. However, some producers go further than this, and the boundaries between truth and fiction start to become blurred. In some cases, parts of the documentary are faked because the producer is under strong pressure to attract large audiences.
