Will paste here an email I received today....

--

Some of you may have heard about this on the local radio news today so we thought some of you who travel in through the areas in question might be interested in the details which have been forwarded to us as follows:

I'm sure all my Hampshire friends and colleagues are law abding citizens, but recommend you read below if you are ever tempted to drive a bit faster then the law permits....want to be a tv star? Read on......

I was talking today to one of my *** *** who happens to *** the ***
*** for Hampshire Police he's given me a tip off about some
filming that Hants Police are doing for a television programme series
from tomorrow (26th September) for seven weeks.

If you use the M27 or the M3 this potentially affects you so please
proceed with caution and pass onto anyone who you feel might just need
to know

The program a BBC South commission called "Traffic Cops" will
be filmed covering the area from Ringwood concentrating on Ringwood M27 up to M3 J9 and a team working the ringroad around Southampton (Totton will have a unit working it alone), Cosham M27 stretch to J5 of the M27 (Southampton Airport turn-off).

The fourth concentration is working from Winchester Services covering M3 to J10 M3 (Winchester South) using five unmarked cars, two Black Skoda 03 registration Octavias, an 05 plate dark red Mondeo and two Volvo saloon cars.

The BBC unit are going to be based out of a unit in Millbrook Road in
Southampton and will also be covering the armed police response unit
and the Southampton Airport Police Security / British Transport Police
team.

The BBC team are in Citreon Picasso MPVs leased from Arriva.

To make it even more effective the Traffic police have authority from
Chief Constable to "work to rule" So instead of the laid back approach
to the usual Hants traffic police this will be a lot more concentrated
to make it effective filming.

You have been warned
