Rosi Sexton, someone I used to train with and teach jiu jitsu back in the 90s (I was light blue at the time and she was but a white belt, although I’m pretty sure she could kick my arse now), is now Britain’s top female cage-fighter. On Thursday, BBC4 is showing a Storyvilledocumentary about Rosi as she travels to the US to fight MMA star Debi Purcell. Give it a watch – it should be fun!
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.
