So the archive material includes advertisments then?
yeah a few, not systematically
archived by any means, often just recorded as part of another programme. If the segment continues I'm hoping to get some direct from some of the agencies' archives. -
. She was able to access all the televisual stuff on Dad, over the years, which she then made into a DVD for his funeral. It meant the world to us.
What a wonderful tale of abuse of position :) It's for reasons like that and a million others ("I was once interviewed on Holmes about ...", "I was on W3 when I was 12...") that it'd be great if the archives were digitsed and open for everyone under some sort of Creative Commons basis. Huge costs involved of course, and "just cos" isn't going to cut it anytime soon...
Who was your Dad, Jackie? Just being nosey.

The two broken links (D'oh!) are fixed...
The fact that I'm totally jealous (I'd love to do something like this) does not prevent me from offering you my warmest congratulations on it. Much.
Yeah well, you'll just have to suffice with having your own TV show won't you (mumble mumble) ;) But thanks, yeah, it's a real treat, I hope it continues post the month-long pilot.

I had heard a theory that white dog poo wasn't so prevalent now because of preservatives in dog food (I can see this thread getting soooo derailed) but I wonder if the reason is much simpler - most people pick up their dog's
poo these days so it doesn't get a chance to go white?And Graeme, yeah I'm actually thinking of a full length show (with interviews and other content) but we'll see - the interstitial idea's not a bad one... Will look for those cartoons for you.

I agree with Jeremy. In fact the idea that anyone should 'qualify' to write about music simply because they have worked in the industry in some capacity is just as ridiculous. Good writers and/or journalists aren't like method actors, they shouldn't need to have lived what they write. Of course, this doesn't mean they should have no idea of the process or industry they're writing about when it's relevant.

I didn't quite understand why Jon Stephenson's piece was news to anyone when it ran in the SST on Sunday. Isn't this exactly the same issue David Beatson has been ably digging and OIAing and blogging about for over a year now? Stephenson might have got an SAS guy or two to comment, but it's hardly a big investigative breakthrough on his part.
