All culled from Broadcast:
\n– Kudos is developing a new BBC series called Outcasts, an SF series about “social misfits and criminals” sent into space to find and develop a new home for mankind. Science fiction is suddenly cool again with the likes of Dr Who, Battlestar Galactica, and even Life on Mars (yup – it counts – get over it)
\n– Roberts is to release a fifty pound iPod DAB\/FM plug-in. This sounds like a great idea, except that worryingly, it’s “about the size of an egg.” What? Not the same shape as an egg surely? And my Nano on it’s own is only marginally larger than an egg. We’ll have to wait and see.
\n– B*g B*****r is back next week, and Ofcom has just published its report<\/a> on the outcome of the recent “Celebrity” edition. It’s 70 pages, so read it at your leisure. In summary, C4 has to broadcast the Ofcom adjudication three times starting with the beginning of next week’s launch show, and is seemingly bringing back a Right to Reply type programme. While I’m glad that it’s not in Ofcom’s remit to ban programmes, I’d happily concede this to them. Oh well – that means nothing<\/em> to watch on C4\/E4 at all for the next three months.
\n– And the Competition Commission is looking at Sky’s 17.9% stake in ITV which effectively blocked a mooted merger between ITV and Virgin Media.
