Not from the UK, but in the US, they were using this extremely shallow depth of lens on some of their cameras for football games. Made it feel like a video game or a heavy tiktok filter.
I work in TV, often doing one of those cameras. They have their place, but the artistic types get far too over excited about them.
They are generally used when you want to force the focus onto the foreground. This does a great job of stroking the egos of presenters etc. Who needs to see the stadium and crowd behind them?
