Good news!
Some great things to report today!
First, the BBC announce that iPlayer is to be launched in beta on 27 July. This, together with the BBC Archive trial I am part of is very exciting and shows the BBC is fully committed to New Media, as they call it.
Secondly, BBC Head of Comedy Jon Plowman, is to stand down - but only to go back to BBC Two to make programmes. If you’ve never heard of him, then this guy is very good, and this is really amazing news. I like this guy probably as much as I like the legend that is Paul Mayhew-Archer.
Thirdly, looking at BBC Two’s Autumn schedules, I see Steeve Coogan is back in a third series of Saxondale. I liked this, probably because I like Steve, and the actress who played Myfanwy in all three series of Little Britain is in it too. So basically, summer and autumn on the BBC looks good!
