There’s one thing certain about BBC life which is that it does tend to keep most if not all employees in a bubble. That’s not a failing on BBC-types. That’s just how it is. We all think it. So consequently thinking that we have to provide all the bells and whistles (ie the Twitters and stuff). The mere presence of the blog itself is testament to a changing culture. That’s the most important thing.

Re: video. The video was fine and communicated behind the scenes stuff.

As for PR???!? Well OF COURSE it was PR and that’s because some are extremely proud of the work put in over an enormously long time not to mention the results which have come out the other end. I remember the criticisms – incessant – and to then find we were celebrating a year was quite special, not least because I had connections with many of the people who worked on it initially. That and the fact that I failed to get a job on it early on as documented here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_IZYLhyFEE0

Oh .. and in case anyone’s reading this and thinking “Is this bloke for real?” Well yes, I am. And yes I work at the BBC and no I haven’t been paid or encouraged or prodded to write this.
