Out of control?
Article Abstract:
UK television industry officials are to investigate Carlton Television over allegations of faking documentary footage and overspending on drama productions. Carlton had begun to rebuild its reputation within the industry, after a shaky start in 1993, when it was criticised by the Independent Television Commission for being too ordinary. Established documentary makers are concerned about the adverse affects the allegations may have on regular documentary viewers. Carlton is accused of overspending by 1 million pounds sterling on its Heat of the Sun drama.
