Comfort and inspiration for a nation

[altariel]

So rewatching that Mitch Benn video (AS I HAVE BEEN RIGHTLY DOING ALL AFTERNOON), I think there are only a handful of the TV shows mentioned that I have never watched: Charlie and Lola, Fireman Sam, and Horrible Histories (don't have kids around the house - tho' even then I've seen Teletubbies and In the Night Garden!). I'd heard of them though. Everything else I've seen at least one episode, or tuned in at some point (Last Night of the Proms, Glastonbury), or I've used the service (iPlayer, website, World Service). I don't listen to the radio much, but I recognized all the broadcasters, and I think I've seen them all do something on the tellybox, and I think I've heard all the radio shows mentioned. I can't quite make out all the things mentioned at the end, and I haven't actually watched everything on BBC Four (yet). Anyway I'd be really interested to know what other people's recognition and viewing or listening levels were. You know, from a sociological perspective. How well did he capture a kind of universal experience of things BBC.

Quite a few reviews of SJA on my friends list if you scroll back a day or two.

I wonder if the BBC think they can't quite get away with actually broadcasting about it?! I wouldn't mind, but probably someone would. I'd love to see it as a Christmas no. 1.

Mitch will almost certainly sing it on The Now Show when the next series starts.
