Surface Pro 3 on Humans Ch4 (UK)

[FredBloggs007]

Watching the first episode of Humans on Ch4 (UK) and there were 3-4 glimpses of the Surface Pro3 - yah! They also had the iPad and an Android tablet too, so well balanced!

Haven't seem it yet but ill look out for it!
It's not surprising really as Microsoft is putting product placement in everything, I think that a Surface was in the 'mocumentary' about UKIP a couple of months ago

Also good to see Ch4 showing a balanced approach rather than the BBC which shows Apple devices only!!!

I believe that in the most recent series of Silent Witness a Surface 2 was used, so its nice that BBC is starting to diversify... starting

Just watch an episode of Hawaii 5-0 (the new series, not the original).

True, but we kinda expect that in the US. However, MS hardly ever does any product placement in the UK and has only started to advertise mainstream recently. It's quite a novelty to see a Lumia or Surface on UK TV as it's normally iPhones or iPads

BBC's probably doing it to get more money though

Just watched it again and they tried to use the SP3 in tent mode with a keyboard - I'm sure that doesn't work well!

ITV are at it too! I've been catching-up on Safe house and I've seen Nokia Lumia's but no surfaces (yet)

 

[BGrewer]

I see what your on about with the pro 3 in tent mode

Even more Surface Pro 3 usage on Humans this week. They had to use a USB connection so guess an iPad was out of the question!!!
