it showed a bitbut as I say, you wouldn't have noticed it. I love the way they had to explain who LLB was as well because their audience is all non-UK-based.

in fact marmots got in there asurprising amount. Did they give you a video tape of it? I should have captured it but I didn't think of it... Do they do an archive on the site?

the line"you're not a celebrity until you've been b3ta'd" got in there, which was the single best thing. And true, of course. I expect Jacko's extremely excited about the boost to his profile we gave him yesterday.

yay! and indeed woo!for the wonders of TV. With this experience under my belt - I reckon I could present the News at 10. Anyone reading this working at ITN - I would be a fucking great news reader. Although I'd only do animal news. About marmots. Is that too limiting?

I like the sound of thatA dedicated animal news. That would be so much better than the current news. Just reverse the way they do it.
To end the programme instead of having a cutesy item about an animal you have to put a "chuckle" in your voice as you covered the days most important "non-animal" news, such as the bombing of Afghan civilians.

Exactly!I would LOVE a tv program that soley compiled the "and finally" news items from around the world into one end of week package. THIS IS TV THAT MUST BE MADE.

Andyou should start each story with "And finally". Also, instead of a newsroom in the background have plenty of people photoshopping. Or looking at porn.
