I'd like to say a big well done for getting through this week. I've watched all of the videos and loved every one.
Hope we can get some more of this kind of stuff on the blog.
Thanks Mark.

I love that the volume on the video player goes up to 11. I do hope it's deliberate.

I hope we get to see the behind the scenes documentary too.

In this sterile and profane televisual community we all live in, it is refrshing and reasurring to hear such a redeeming voice. The comment you made on handbags replacing hearts in sex and the city (the movie) was paticularly poignant. You said to Simon Armitage that you felt your occupation under threat - if they dispense of you, the bbc really have lost their backbone. Just a brief encomium to show my appreciation. Thanks.
