Bob Friend retires - 23rd October 2003

Barney Boo, would you consider allowing The TV Room to host your video clips in real format in a special page for Bob's retirement (providing Mike McGonagle agrees)

You will be credited of course

That's absolutely fine. I'll keep it online and you can just link to that if you wish

Well done Barney. Still more to come though

I don't watch Sky News that much - is it normal to do a sports update every 15 minutes - or is it just so Matt can....do his thing?
Anyway...looks like it's gonna be interesting after this ad break.

I'm sure if Mike agrees, he would be willing to host it from his video server...

e-mail me if you have any specific requirements for crediting the video files to you...

Is the 11.20pm sports bulletin the one that is recorded, so that it can be repeated all night?

If so Matt will be doing his best not to laugh this time.

Matt's doing well, once the segment has been recorded, I'm sure him and Bob will go at it again...

Watching a news channel has never been so stressful....

I'll do my best to get the next handover

EDIT - Damn

Good and Funny Paper review...

Today we have the end of two sky legends...

and it's finishing early...

Yup - I was recording but my PC crashed mid-way and the file I did get was corrupted.
Hopefully it won't happen in our last 10 mins.

Okay, and the very last clip.
A final chat with Bob, and his last words on Sky News:
Bye from Bob (1.95 Mb)

And whilst I have very much enjoyed my 2hr30 capture shift that's the final clip. But - it's been useful to finally get to grips with capturing some VIDEO - encoding etc. etc.

Enjoy! (I think)

EDIT - Just installed RealOne which gave me a chance to see the poor quality of these, so sorry!
