Beating 'Men in Tights'

I don't know who'll admit watching 'Britain does the Funniest Things' on ITV1 last Saturday, but there were 3.3 million people out there chuckling away according to the ratings!

The show beat the BBC1's offering of 'Robin Hood', and I'm even more pleased as I directed the programme links between the clips.

Stephen Mulhern and the ITV1 team are fantastic to work, and the very nice Producer Chris Thornton sent me the following ratings:

'ITV1 – Britain Does - 3.3 million 22% share on Saturday night beating –
BBC1 - Robin Hood which got 3.2 million (and a 21% share)

500 DVD copies later...

I have just finished the mammoth task of duplicating the Salford Community Leisure (SCL) film I have been working on into 500 copies. As I handed over the box of DVD's to Danielle from SCL, it felt a bit daunting that up to 500 people will all be watching your work- many with a critical eye!

SCL is responsible for the leisure services for Salford Council, and we have filmed virtually everyone and everything, to sum up what they achieved in 2008 to 2009. Every caption needs reading 6 times to check for typos, and every job title needs double-checking.

The DVD structure virtually didn't change from the draft, we just added the occasional extra image and reworded some of the facts shown on screen.

The whole film of 17 minutes was held together with presenter links by members of SCL staff Geoff and Dawn- who did a brilliant job!

Here are the discs waiting patiently in my office before I dropped them off!
