ITV in the Face: South West (1 of 3)

Oh God another project. A documentary series I guess about the fortunes of the ITV regions, starting and quite possibly ending with my own. Actually this was a surprising amount of fun to make, despite the constant teeth-gnashing at the constant memory drain it was taking, so yeah, I'll probably make more. I might do Tyne Tees next, or TV-am maybe. Unless you viewer types have a preference.

Most of the clips from TV Ark, the script is improvised as usual, I think it's pretty good, and if you like it I command you to pass it along. Who knows, some prick in a haircut working for Endemol or Fremantle or something might see it and give me money to make a better version.

Edit: Doh, I just realised I left in the copyright frame to one of the TVArk videos. Sorry about that. I blame WMM.

Are you in East or West Cornwall?

@tokutom East.

Sorry that I'm rather late on the uptake. Only just discovered these and they are superb, and well documented from a viewers perspective. Pretty amusing too!

[Applemask]

@RobinBlamires Did you discover them from anywhere in particular?

[doctorwhokris1980]

[Applemask]

Southern/TVS/Meridian? Working on that right now. Hopefully it'll be out Monday as usual.

Loved the picture used for Carlton - very fitting!

[poopiepoos]

Ahh yes good old Granada, lets buy the majority of ITV, close down the majority of regional studios, loose all regional identity and become London-centric.

[tokutom]

@Applemask Oh I see. I'm round St. Ives way.

Love your docs, but I a lot of the time, I can't understand what you are saying!!

@TashkentFox I wasn't so lucky, Centralville for me! But I don't understand why Carlton is hated, is it just because it replaced Thames? Can someone explain why Carlton is regarded so badly?

[RobinBlamires]

@Applemask Nah, I just stumbled across them from another TSW related video. Didn't grow up in the region myself (I was from Thames/LWT and later TVS/Meridian) but it really was something special in terms of on-air presentation.
