Happy fifth birthday The Medium Is Not Enough

A birthday cake Happy Birthday, The Medium is Not Enough. Yes, five years ago (blimey, a whole half decade – fame and fortune must be just round the corner by now, surely), this blog emerged into the light of the Internet with its first two posts: previews of Prison Break, the not-unpopular Supernatural and the still-unseen Global Frequency; and tedious cruft about The Omega Factor (which I ended up writing a review of after all when I got stuck for a Lost Gem).

I’d like to say a great big thank you again to Aaron, Almost Witty, Andrea, Anna, Bob, Cackle Jr, Chris, Craig, Dan, Electric Dragon, George, Iko, Jane, Jaradel, Joe, Jonathan, kaballa, Kev, Lesley, Lisa, Marie, Matt, Nik, Phoenix, Poly, Rev/Views, Rosby, Scott, other Scott, Sister Chastity, Stu_N, Stu, Stuart, TemplarJ, Toby and Vin for continuing to hang around and contribute with always entertaining comments, particularly in the magical dreamland that is Sitting Tennant. Without you, this blog would be nothing and I’d have given up 4.5 years ago.

I’d also like to thank Brian Clegg, DOPEaddict, dreamer-easy, ecg, Erin C, Jemima, Jonathan Burt, Julie Paradox, Karen, Mark Carroll, Mark Clapham, Rachel, redscharlach, Robin Parker, Sabine, Skreee, SK, Steerforth and Virginia Moffatt for joining in with the fun this year. You’re all very lovely people and I’m glad to have (virtually) met you all.

Please stick around: there’ll be pie, peas and skittles afterwards.

As always, if you have any suggestions for what else you might like to see on the blog, please let me know below.

Have a nice week (and, indeed, year),

MediumRob

    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.
