Cutting Edge is a British TV documentary series broadcast by Channel 4 since 1990 that focuses on political and social issues.
Episodes
there have been numerous episodes since 1990 and some of the highlights include:
- "Shops and Robbers", which received some of Channel 4's highest ratings[1].
- "Graham Taylor: The Impossible Job", a documentary about the England national football team's unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. Manager Graham Taylor was harshly criticised by the tabloid press during these two years (1992-93), and the fly-on-the-wall documentary revealed a stressed team camp. It also gave birth to Taylor's catchphrase, "Do I not like that" (a statement rather than a question).
- Cutting Edge covered Alain Robert in an episode titled The Human Spider in April 2008.[2]
- Blind Young Things, a 2007 documentary following students at the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford. The film won a Royal Television Society award for Channel Four and the Cutting Edge team in 2008.[3]
Cutting Edge returned in 2005 for a short run. this included some of the episodes below "Anti-Social Old Buggers" (about elderly recipients of Asbos), "The Black Widow", "Gridlock" and "The House Clearers".
