Just took part in something that I cannot mention officially yet, but which
should become apparent to much of the readership in the next few days. Fun
experience. Sometimes technology can work well. But enough teasing.

I'll mention the manifesto on Doctor Who and international broadcasting again,
as it garnered some interest. Go to
