It was an interesting experience, and I planned to blog about it myself, but I got distracted with other things! <br /><br />You can actually see me if you watch the programme... I was in the front row and the cameraman decided, for some obscure reason, to get a big close up of my face. Very embarassing, I couldn't watch it back in fear of seeing myself! <br /><br />But you can actually see the whole thing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYOUbTzIztA<br /><br />Anyway, I agree with what Phil Redmond says about children's television. It needs to be more captivating than it currently is, it's missing out on a whole audience of 11-15 year olds and they're turning elsewhere. <br /><br />As for the merging of C4 and the BBC, I don't think I know enough about it to make an informed decision. But something has to change, because the sate of children's television in that age range (apart from the odd exception) is pretty dire at the moment.Scott Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923939102376540530noreply@blogger.com
