I think it's a fait accompli that any TV programme about anything now has intermediaries who supposedly act as representatives of the viewers. I notice that Patrick Stewart features as said intermediary with Stirling Moss on a prog tonight. Hope he isn't let loose on the Mille Miglia Mercedes 300SLR, leave that to Sir Stirling methinks.

However, the Unthanks obviously know a bit about the North East and singing, and I thought the latest effort was much better than the first one.

I don't see that them singing their dad's song was particularly corrupting - even Padstow seems to have accepted outsiders on May Day these days (a bit).
