fake as in it was not a police copter on duty, was hired and not attending an emergency.
The newspaper quotes went along the lines of
--- Quote ---The show’s producers had got airport clearance to stage the scene while a private helicopter firm provided the "police" chopper.
Steve O'Brian, Chief Pilot at Sterling helicopters, who supplied the 999 helicopter said the balloon was delivered to the airport on the back of a truck.

At parents house. Just watched this on BBC i-player.
Yeh, very good, and yeh, staged.
Good fun though!
Would've been better if they'd had a Porshe Cayenne, Audi Allroad, and Merc M-Class, and bringing up the rear, a Range Rover Classic, (as per the VW Beetle, in the South African Challenge), to show how banal those Chelsea Tractors are.
I'm off to watch it again, Cheers.

Although it was fun, I thought the North Pole one was better.
It's obviously all staged, but it is just entertainment. I very much doubt (hope) the production team expect anyone to think otherwise.

Arctic one seemed genuinely more extreme. Maybe if they had all used 2CV's in the jungle...
