Edmund how long did they have to do that broadcast, it sounds

fantastic ?

About 10 minutes IIRC.



They have 4 nano-seconds here to do the whole of the UK :-(
5 minutes is then devoted to dancing men prancing around on the

screen followed
by trailers for the latest celebrity love-in show.

I also wonder if the BBC bought the full package or whether it was a

cut price
jobbie ?
I mean it was only a million quid after all.


There's another thread about it on here, from someone in NZ I think,
which discusses that.
