Anyone else noticed that behind-the-scenes documentary Heroes Unmasked has disappeared from the BBC2 schedules? And that the BBC web site has said it’s not coming back for Volume 4?
Why’s that then, do you reckon? Plummeting ratings? Lack of interest…?
PS My eBay-purchased Heroesmousemat/mousepad smells of petrol. My hands now smell of petrol. I think there’s a lesson to us all there. But why is it that you can’t buy proper, authorised NBC mousemats/pads in the UK? And why won’t NBC even ship to the UK? Bah, and indeed, humbug. Excuse me while I go off and try to avoid naked flames.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
