Hunting Ban

bbc midlands are putting out a "midlands today special" (which sounds silly - in the old days they'd have called it a midlands report special) about the ban on hunting. mike collie is fronting it, 11.10 on sunday night.

i believe other regions are doing similiar - but details have yet to appear on digiguide. the press office say bbc west are producing one - i hear bbc north are, is every region doing similar - and will they be pan-regional (midlands and east midlands, south and south east - etc?). and what about bbc london, i'm not sure there are many hunts in their tx area

Ones you have already mentioned and;
-BBC South with Sally Taylor at 11.30 ~ staying up late!
-BBC South East Today with Geoff and Bev
-BBC Look East.

Does anyone know if these will be studio based or an OB location or will it be a mixture with some regions inside and some outside?

Spotlight are plugging theirs for 23:10 on Sunday, so it looks like confusion abounds as to timing.

I wish they'd all make their minds up as I have a HUGE vested interest.

I want to watch Billy Connoly; I missed that series first time round.

you could try using a video Nick, I don't think they are as dangerous as car washes

Oh, I intend to be fissed as a part by 23:10 on Sunday, anyway, so I DO intend to video Billy.

I just want to know what <expletive deleted> time to set it for.

Start recording at 10.50pm and let it run until 1.00am. That way, even with the most cocked-up of BBC schedules, you are pretty sure to catch it!

Or you could just watch my 10 minute Pembrokeshire College produced documentary which I made in 2002

11.10pm on a Sunday? Are they wanting nobody to see it or something, that's an even later start than The South Bank Show!

Hull are doing a Hunting Special on Sunday with Peter Levy. Whether Leeds are doing their own or it's pan regional I don't know.

Enjoyed Peter's comment "I sound like a continuity announcer don't I?" with his history in the Leeds pres studio

Never mind this Hunting Ban, there are more important issues to think about like the welfare of Natasha Kaplinsky, Fiona Bruce and the legend that is Moira Stuart.

Is half term still on?

Well, the kids go back to school on Monday. why do you ask?
