Still though, it did kill more brit bombers then the german night fighting force....
Now you mention it, yes, it was about the night bombing campaign (I watch way too many of these, sometimes I confuse 'em), but they mentioned planes being shot down more often by Me 110s than by AA.

Either way, you should know to never, ever believe a documentary in which one nations says that the other nation's weapons were poor. Its like the american propaganda film on the MG42, where they said that it was highly inaccurate. My grandfather and I were once watching the history channel, and that came on. He then went into a torrent of outrage, saying that he remembered seeing that film during training, and that lots of guys in his unit died because they thought that the MG42 was inaccurate.
Indeed, I know, it's part of my job to be very critical towards sources (any sources). I wasn't saying the documentary I saw was correct, I juts noticed a difference in what you said and what the documentary said. Since I only know you from here and I only know The War File from what I have watched, I should be careful with both of you
