Interesting write-up from The Guardian here, it's apparently a take on Lord of the Flies - "a sort of Lord of the Frequent Flyers", where a plane on a transpacific flight encounters what appears to be turbulence and enters free fall." The write-up of the series contains a couple amusing paragraphs, too 
:
Virgin Atlantic, unusually, screens such material uncensored, merely placing a warning in the entertainment guide that the choice includes blazing or exploding jets. But, even so, one of this summer's offerings on Virgin TV was a brave inclusion: the opening episodes of Lost, the hit American television series that not merely contains plane-crash footage but consists almost entirely of it.
I especially like this one:
When I recently spent half a flight to New York watching the show, the passenger beside me asked to be moved because, while my headphones protected her from the screams and despairing dialogue, the images glimpsed on the seat-back screen were too disturbing for her..
I used to read my flight manuals on board (a few years back), it was actually quite amusing following the reactions of those nosey people around me when they saw I was reading about "Super-Stalls" and engine shutdowns [}:)][:0]
