So, not so long ago, someone went and apparently stole some beer in Blackpool. Not a big crime and not one that would normally garner much attention. Except the man was recorded on CCTV and he happened to look like someone quite famous.
That still normally would be one of those things that in the old days, would end up in a piece on Nationwide, but go no further. But these days, as well as making it into The Guardian, it can cross the planet and even draw the attention of Hollywood stars.
Including David Schwimmer. This is his response.

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.
