Top Gear 100: Missed it

June 22, 2009 · Comments 

Previously on my Top Gear obsessed blog - I wrote suggestions for Top Gear 100 - that was last series and it came and then went away. Not that the Top Gear team noticed - Andy Wilman, show executive Producer, asked the crew to work out the number of episodes and tell him when it gets to 100.

BBC iPlayer goes HD

April 20, 2009 · Comments 

I like new toys, new things to play with and enjoy - especially when they’re shiny. And they don’t come much shinier than 720p 3mb+ video streaming over the internet.

I’m not normally one to complain, in fact I’ll usually go out of my way to avoid complaining at all costs - even putting up with broken things for the sake of avoiding conflict. So, if I’m prepared to put up with a dead watch because I don’t want to go through the process of taking it back – you can imagine... [Read the full story]

Earlier this year I must have e-mailed the Department for Culture, Media and Sport - or at least filled out a form, petition or wrote something somewhere. What I sent was obviously something to do with children’s television and the state of it in the UK - or at least the lack of homegrown children’s tv outside of... [Read the full story]

As well as being a seriously amazing piece of camera work, a stunningly beautiful footage and as Engadget readers put it … Camera Porn - this is an epic leap in natural world film making by the BBC. To get the full effect of the video above … wait until the BBC HD broadcast - but failing that click on HD and the... [Read the full story]
