Reading a TV magazine, I've just noticed that AT will be appearing on Channel 5 show When There's Blame, There's a Claim, on Wednesday at 9PM. Description:
A three-part series revealing the stories behind compensation claims for injuries in the UK, from theme park disasters to botched plastic surgery. The first episode focuses on Leah Washington and Joe Pugh, whose lives were turned upside down then when the roller coaster ride they were on crashed into an empty carriage, leaving the pair with devastating life changing injuries

They've had their sympathy, they've had their time. It was awful, yes, but now they're just in it for fame and the money. They've become desperate to cling onto their 'fame' and will do anything to promote themselves. It's hard to find any more sympathy for them
 
I've seen this program being advertised on TV for the past few days.

The Birmingham mail has publish on-line this article about it, discussing the compensation amounts

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/showbiz-tv/alton-towers-smash-victims-reveal-13242045

"Alton Towers crash victim Joe Pugh has received his final settlement from the theme park – while his girlfriend will have to wait until next year for her compensation.

Joe, who broke both kneecaps and had his little finger snapped off by The Smiler ride accident , has received an estimated £100,000 pay-off, while Leah Washington, whose left leg was badly crushed and amputated above the knee, should receive more than £2 million.

The pair both feature in a new Channel 5 series, Where There’s Blame There’s A Claim, which examines compensation cases."
 
Just watched it on catch-up, and i was very impressed and happy that they got the facts spot on!
the program was very interesting overall, as well.
 
Looks like there's gonna be some kind of segment on SW8 on Central News ITV this tea-time. Looks like a bit of time-lapse footage or something.
 
I'm waiting for the day the Smiler crash appears on Seconds From Disaster.
