JMA,
Ross Kemp's latest series on Afghanistan had some moments when his MoD "minder" and later editing failed to remove some "gems". IIRC there were comments on the series earlier on SWC, but not readily found now. Such as a French Mirage providing CAS; noteworthy as there was no footage of RAF CAS. His last episode back in the UK at Headley Court, the UK military rehabilitation centre was excellent - in reminding us at home of the price our servicemen & servicewomen pay.
The Kajaki Dam and the operation to take a replacement Chinese turbine was weird; as you point out if the electricity is generated how will it reach consumers (far beyond Helmand)? The MoD PR machine went into overdrive reporting on this 'success'.
Ross Kemp has done two series now (in 2008 & 2009) and Kajaki may have appeared in the second.
