The BBC is following a standard shipping container around the world for a year as part of an investigation of international trade. I think this will be fascinating - there's millions of these containers on the move at any time, carrying the vast majority of the world's volume of goods.
I think the BBC needs congratulated for coming up with this idea - public service broadcasting at its best!

Seems about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Beats the pulp they churn out on Channel 4.

I can think of very few more boring things...

 

[Azagoth]

Wonder how much of your licence fee went into this?

 

[cheets64]

£99.78

 

[Duke]

What's the point? They could work out the route the container would take, so why waste licence payers money actually sending it? ;O

If you read the article, it pays for itself.

I think it will be quite interesting to see where it ends up going

QVC beats the crap that C4 makes apart from the sublime Scrapheap Challenge (mmmm Lisa Rogers) and Time Team.

Well done to the BBC.

I wasn't being serious on the cost front... hence the ";O".
