Tom,
By all over I mean they covered a wide variety of sites here on the Big Island on the show, they rented a little mini Winnebago and tricked it up with big touch screens and Hawaiiana knickknacks. The show was a mix of live footage and pretaped stuff from other places around the world, they used helicopters for a lot of their Kilauea segments. I didn't mean they had a fleet of crews flying around. Trying to do the kind of show they did live was pretty daring, and the biggest tech fail they had wasn't at this end but was back home with the website where people were supposed to be able to send them questions to be answered live, and the website kept crashing.
My husband found 3 of the 4 shows somewhere on the internet; unlike PBS who charge an arm and a leg for educational stuff produced on the taxpayers' dime, the BBC makes most of their shows available on the internet through various education websites, so I try to stay pretty plugged into what they are producing.
I know what you mean about the difference between England, Britain, and the UK, I end up having to explain that to my students on a regular basis when I teach geography or cover current events.
