I may be running a competition to win a prize on this ‘ere blog very soon.

Wow, that was vague, wasn’t it?

See, I haven’t decided on the prize. There’s a range of options, all of them DVDs or Blu-Ray disks, most of them Film4/Channel 4 content, but I’m not sure what y’all would like best. So I’m going to give you the options, you say which one you’d like to win best, and I’ll see if I can swing it with TPTB (no guarantees).

Right, here they are:

  • Stephen Tompkinson’s African Balloon Adventure
  • Close My Eyes
  • Gerry
  • Very Annie Mary
  • My Brother Tom
  • Gregory’s Two Girls
  • Late Night Shopping
  • Miranda
  • The Emperor’s New Clothes
  • Hear My Song
  • Gangster No.1
  • Star Stories Series 3 & Box Set 1-3
  • Motorcycle diaries – Blu-Ray
  • East is East – Blu-Ray
  • Sexy Beast – Blu-Ray
  • Touching the void – Blu-Ray
  • In the shadow of the moon – Blu-Ray

Life of Tim competition

15 June 2009 Rob Buckley 3 Comments

At 10pm on Tuesdays, Virgin 1 are showing HBO’s new animated comedy Life of Tim, created by Steve Dildarian, a former host of Saturday Night Live and the man behind the Budweiser lizards. According to the press release:

"Tim’s an everyday, nice, working guy who can’t help but get himself into the worst situations. No matter the situation, life’s little challenges always manage to demand the most offensive solutions, which wouldn’t be such a problem if he weren’t continually caught red-handed".

To get people watchingcelebrate the launch of the show, they’ve launched a sketching tool that enables you to create animated sketches featuring Tim and the other characters of the show.

The reason I mention any of this is: sketch creators will also get the chance to win a Sony Bravia 32" TV, signed animation cells from the show and the chance to have their sketched shown on the Virgin1 website. So it’s worth a punt, basically.

Here’s a clip from the show, so you can see what it’s like.
