Research Call

  • Thursday September 25, 2025

The BBC is making a documentary about Britain’s roads and the problem we face with potholes. The film will examine Britain’s crumbling roads and investigate the systemic flaws that have left millions of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians at risk from potholes and ask what can be done to fix Britain’s roads.

They are looking to speak to Highways Engineers (past and present) in complete confidence about their experiences of fixing potholes and how they feel things could be improved. Any initial chats are for research purposes only and will be off the record. If you would like to find out more please contact kotoole@candour.tv or krice@candour.tv by 30 September.
