that was me

would have done terry badu proud

:satisfied

did you get a VHS of it?

I wouldn’t have been able to watch it as ITV don’t TX the regional strands across more than one regions like they used to, in fact what you appeared on is only being made to keep Ofcom happy.

You’re lucky as well because AFAIK HTV’s studios didn’t get gutted and downsized like most of the others – in our area regional ITV no longer exists to any extent and they don’t send out camera crews (all freelancers nowadays) unless its a crime report (good news has no commercial market!)

the producer was a sports producer who also has to produce features as the features dept was axed

there was a time when the producer would have arranged for you to have had a VHS copy of the finished feature, it was once seen as the done thing and a goodwill gesture for allowing the camera crew into your organisation.

but I guess the cost-cutting is why this didn’t happen – would expect the producer came from what was HTV as Westcountry’s regional dept is long gone and they were only retained for sports because of rugby…

when did that go out? pretty sure much of E4’s content is aimed for pre-watershed, suprised they TX’d such lyrics!

OTOH if they were drunk and rapping in Scots wouldn’t surprise me if the programme clearance bods (usually based in London) just couldn’t understand the lyrics and let it through 😀 (my mum told me she had to turn on 888 subtitles to watch Taggart last night!, I only understand Scots (spoken slowly) because I once worked on a crew with two people from Aberdeen)

would be interesting to see this….
