If they are paved and have an instrument approach they're not extreme.

Not really, some of the airports down in South America and Central America are as hard to land as a dirt strip in the middle of Alaska. look at places like Toncontin International Airport

My home airport back home is also pretty crazy http://www.swissfir.org/downloads/charts/LSZA/LSZA_All_App.pdf

It use to be steeper but then the govt closed the airport to most of the airlines flying in there, the only planes allowed were the Saab 2000 and the BAE 146, now they have changed things and there is a lot more flying in...

I wonder if London City will be in there just because of the crazy steep angle on the ILS.

I'm kinda guessing it'll be any airport for which they can find footage of an airplane bouncing all over the runway; Kai Tak, Toncontin, St Barths, Saba, Courchevel, etc etc.
