The Day TV Died

Caught this programme on Inforamtion TV, a programme made for the Royal Television Society's Cambridge Convention in 2005, and made by ITV Productions.

It's a good watch, about 15 mins long, taking a humorous look at the threats to TV as we know it.

Showing again tonight at 7.45, and Saturday at 7.45am and 7.45pm

Can someone post it. Us lonely people without sky

what channel ON sky?

what kind of 'threats' were discussed?

Channel 181, or streaming at http://information.tv/

Main threat they proposed was the internet and Bit Torrent/Google Video. Some archive pres included as well.

I reckon in years to come YouTube (Google) will provide a TV service direct to your living room. Live TV will certainly be dead.

Computers are already rapidly becoming multimedia centres.

We will see.

you mean the BBC or ITV will control them...

If that did happen, then yes. I'm just a little underwhelmed by the whole commotion about the internet taking over TV - without TV, where would the web stand? Not in good stead I wouldn't have thought!

if there no TV why make TV programmes like Lost, Eastender , Emmerdale, My Family, blankly blank,

I see want you mean now!

A good piece of video, made me laugh at points.

Whoever chose Geoffrey Palmer as the voiceover deserves credit.

I must be missing something with You Tube. From what I've seen it's no better than You've Been Framed - utter crap. I think that You Tube is the Emporer's New Clothes with the idea it'll "replace" TV broadcasting.
