Okay, so there aren’t a lot of TV shows set in Aber and the show’s probably done a lot for tourism to the twon, but do people really want to stare at Richard Harrington looking a bit broody in Y Gwyll (Hinterland) for the next two years? I wouldn’t have thought so, but S4C disagrees – it wants to stick a great big mural on the side of an art shop in the town. Planning applications are in, so let’s so wait and see what happens next…
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.
