Comedy Central

Updated pres?

I appreciate the thinking behind the "Post Match Stand-up" marketing, complete with "After Brazil v Croatia" on the endboard! When they put their mind to it their advertising can be really creative.

Sky+HD Box Problems

Box saying incorrect card for box.

Yeah as the viewing card was registered to a Glasgow postcode, STV Central is on 103. So I might just phone them up and get a new card linked to my postcode and send it up.

Gold to show final Monty Python stage performance live

Presumably the cameras used to shoot the live performance were in 25p mode but the archived content from the original series was the usual mix of 50i studio interiors and 25p film location exteriors?...

Was SD 16:9 ever tried in America?

I remember eyeing those up in Sainsburys and thinking they were insanely expensive. Given that you got half a season of Buffy for £35 at MVC (I only threw out all those VHS box sets last month) the...

The Boy from Space

Look and Read story coming to DVD!

Amazon have now re-phrased it as: "Newly-created continuous drama presentation of the 1971 original narrative sequences". Is this to say that the original 1971 version does survive in some form?...

New BBC one pointer

For the World cup and now for WW1

I don't see why the only uniform solution has to be "stacked in a box" (with or without a background). As you say yourself, that format is broken as it is unable to contain all the information...

I suspect they would stay as present as most programmes are archive, though obviously some deal would have to be made. Doesn't look like it'll be happening anyway but I love speculation when...

Tour de France coverage

Split from The Sport Thread

Glastonbury 2014

The BBC ran a blog on this a few days ago - it seemed along with the obvious things mentioned by Deejay their main justification was concerns over maintaining an acceptable quality of the broadcast.

Tax breaks for Children's TV?

I would say that BBC Children’s is on top form. This is partly due to having the excellent Joe Godwin as head of the department. He has devoted his career to children’s television. Unlike all...
