Do you know if it was live or not?
I recently learnt that the bbc logos were physical objects rather than recordings as it was too expensive / complicated to have recordings.
This is the "noddy camera" that was manoeuvred to select the image.

And this is the famous spinning globe with mirror.

Chances are the Danish fishtank was a live one.

I always shy away from supermarket wraps - homemade ones are lovely but they always look like the filling is in the centre so that when cut it & displayed it looks full, but the top and bottom are like wet A4.
Was the filling of a consistent thickness throughout?

This is a very important question. Not just for this sandwich but sandwiches in general. There was consintency. Sadly, that was part of the problem.

The fishtank was filmed with a robot camera, but was otherwise the real thing. 720 l tank, which was later subject of a doco itself (lost in the archives?). Here's an hour of it, with some fitting music:

Fish!

So to continue with my sandwich reviews.

I had a spiced humous & falafel wrap from Morrisons earlier. Not the usual thing I'd go for but I fancied a change.

The packaging was the usual standard, not bad. It was fresh so what more can you expect.
The wrap itself was presented as expected, so no disappointment there. However. As much as I Iike humous, with crisps, it's just not something I'd have on a sandwich. The filler, as you ask, was diced carrot and summat else, which was equally unappealing.

I added ground pepper (think of Nigella), and a bit of lemon as I thought that might add to the flavour. But it didn't.

A very sad, 4/10.

if you like hummus here is a recipe for it - and as well for the tahini

and for the tahini

ah and you mentioned falafel - here is a recipe for it as well

Refika has actually a bunch of quite good and very informative videos about turkish cuisine - you will need a bunch of ingredients though, which might not be that familiar to you, but it is well worth trying it with original ingredients instead of substitutes - using canned chickpeas though is often removing the hassle of getting the peal off those chickpeas - which is quite a job, if you have to do it yourself.
