BBC One launched its new idents today, which will start appearing on screen from October 7th.
They all have a circle theme and keep the colour red in some way, and I’ve got to say I really like them. There’s a lot of debate about whether or not channel idents are important, but I think they [...]

If you haven’t heard of Facebook, it’s kind of like MySpace, but is a lot bigger in colleges and universities. Now however, it’s open to people from companies as well, so I signed up as the BBC is one company included. To date, it’s only my sister and her friends from uni which have added [...]

Well our friend Majella was back in town from Glasgow this weekend, for the first time since January! So obviously we all went out to celebrate - not to the Potthouse either, but to Ollie’s. Which seems to have transformed a bit since I had a great time there a couple of weeks ago. The [...]

If you’re a Flickr pro account holder (like moi) head over Moo’s site and claim 10 free mini photo cards - you can get them personalised with your name, site address etc. on the back, and can select from any photo in your Flickr photostream. A nice idea - I might be back to order [...]

I used to love the BBC Two show This Life - great news today in that a new, 90 minute episode to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the show will be on tv later this year.
I’m looking forward to that!

Well I was over in London last week for a course, which went pretty well actually. I think I learnt a lot from it, which will hopefully benefit me as I start learning the ropes involved with being a producer.
I also took some time out to go to Television Centre in London and catch up [...]

I watched “13 - Tzameti” at the weekend. It’s a French thriller (kind of) which is shot completely in black and white. In it a young guy decides to impersonate his boss, who’s recently died of an overdose. Little does the guy know what he’s getting himself in to however.
What he does get involved with [...]

I’m going to a Singstar party in two weeks (where I will thrash everyone with my rendition of Hoobastank’s The Reason) but if you don’t have a PS2, you can get in on the singing act as well thanks to a new online karaoke site called Singshot.
It’s basically a site where you can record yourself [...]

Check out these class sandwiches! Stunned I was, when I saw these! I love ‘em - just goes to show you can make impressive things out of food. Although some of these characters look like they’re a bit mad.
Sadly there’s no guide as to how to go about making your own (although it would probably [...]
