Bristol Airport was a docu-soap based on events at Bristol Airport. The programme was made by ITV and aired on the digital channel Discovery Travel and Living every evening at 11pm and every morning at 11am in Britain. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes in length and follows a similar format to shows such as Airport and Airline.
In episode 3 the programme followed security staff at the airport deal with a suspicious bag. Buzzing could be heard coming from a suitcase left unattended. However a search of the bag revealed this to be a large vibrator that had accidentally turned itself on, much to the embarrassment of the owner.
Famous quotes containing the words bristol and/or airport:
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
