It may be hard to believe this was both shocking and controversial when it was first aired by the BBC in 2000. Seeing doormen going about their somewhat hazardous occupation and responding to real incidents did have an appeal.
Back in 2000, this was one of the first times that violence at pubs and clubs was featured so extensively on television. These days there are thousands of such videos on Youtube featuring pub and street fights.
The tactics used by the company featured were heavily critiscised and needless to say there was no second series. I think the company took alot of flak after this which probably lead to the minibus 'rapid response team' being disbanded.
The huge brawl featured in the first episode came under the spotlight. Their company boss was arrested during the ensuing mayhem.
