Yes, it’s August, so it’s time for my annual pilgrimage to Greece. That means no blogging for the next fortnight, I’m afraid. You’ll live, somehow, I’m sure.
I’ll start posting content when I get back and in case you haven’t watched all the plays in the archive yet – perhaps you skipped Artemis 81 for some reason – that should keep you occupied for a while. When I’m back, almost normal service will resume, but since most TV people are on holiday in August, the Daily News won’t be back until September (no news is good news?). If you’re going on holiday, too, have a nice time – let us know if you had 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.
