It doesn’t look like DoCopenhagen have compiled their own list of top music videos for this year so you’re going to have to make do with this top 50 from Pitchfork. Still marvellous. | Comments (1) »
Doctor Who Children in Need Special
17-Nov-07
I haven’t watched many of the newest Doctor Whos with David Tennant, but I did watch a huge number with Peter Davidson as a kid. Here’s an 8-minute special which aired last night as part of BBC TV’s Children in Need appeal containing both of them in a nostalgic paradox. Enjoy.
And, of course, there’s more information than you could ever want to know about it over at Wikipedia already.
Frost and Pegg’s Perfect Night In
19-Jul-07
I only managed to catch the last fifteen minutes of Frost and Pegg’s Perfect Night In when it aired on Channel 4 a couple of months ago but, thankfully, a selfless guy by the name of FrostituteMayo (presumably a big Nick Frost Fan) recorded and YouTubed the whole lot.
Essential viewing for anyone that grew up in the UK through the 70s and 80s. (thanks David!)
DigiGuide Lite as a movie guide
12-Dec-06
I’ve been using the DigiGuide TV guide software for years and was about to download install it on the, less capable, PC in the lounge to let me know what movies are showing on TV in the evening when I get home from work when I noticed they now had something called DigiGuide Lite.
Digiguide Lite is an application which lives in the system tray and updates automatically to show what’s on TV in the UK, regionally adjusted, over the next few hours. One of the best features, for me at least, is the ability to filter shows by type. This means that I can see when I get home from work, at a glance, what movies are on TV that evening. Perfect! The best part? It’s free!
The BBC are running a competition to find new talent for an upcoming animated comedy sketch show. Entrants have until the end of the year to submit an animated short, in any medium, of up to 2 minutes in length that “capture the imagination and, more importantly, make people laugh”.
