Inside Out South

[arranj]

I can't remember if I did a topic on this or not! but here it is anyway - pics from Brian's Facebook

Jane from the BBC contacted us asking about it, so I put them on to Brian:

Hi Arran

Inside Out South wants to make a ten minute film about the cuts...i wondered about making it a back to the future style piece - at least at the start. The idea being to compare economics, strikes, unemployment, recession etc then and now. so many similarities cropping up with now and the early 80's and think we'll get away with 1985 film reference cos of the time travel idea. how mobile are the cars if that's not a daft question? would the owner drive it to a few locations for us? it's embryonic at this stage but having said that if we do it we'll probably have to jump sharpish and get filming in the next couple of weeks. I think it's pencilled to go out on Nov 29th.

29th Nov - maybe

Thanks for that Aaron. Didn’t realise that the enquiry came via yourself. Had a great day. Jon, the
presenter and I hit it off straight away. He even got to drive the car, breaking one of my golden rules.
Safe to say we have another Delorean convert. He emailed afterwards which was nice
Hi Brian,
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for the other day. Driving a Delorean is something I won't be forgetting in a hurry and it was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with you. I only found out yesterday that you don't usually let people drive it and so I'm truly appreciative of the opportunity you gave me.
Haven't stopped smiling thinking about it yet …
I hope it wasn't too tedious for you. You're an absolute star and your car ain't bad either!
Best wishes
Jon

Sounds like an invitation for a second date!

Sounds good. It's on BBC1 South (channel 984 on Sky) on Monday 29th November at 7.30pm: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wcq27

According to the BBC site:

Jon Cuthill tells the extraordinary story of a New Forest school for spies, plus the dangers of renting out your home - how a Brighton nurse faced up to tenants who wouldn't move out and wouldn't pay the rent,and back to the future, how the austerity measures could hit southern England.

According to my (dutch) EPG:

Mary Rhodes investigates the problem of uninsured taxis. Pete Waterman returns to the Midlands to indulge his passion for model railways. And there is an update on the inspiring story of the teenage girl fighting a very public battle against cancer.

By the way, what does 'South Only' mean anyway? BBC One is BBC One right?

Well I am recording it anyways.

There are certain programmes that are different in different regions, "Inside Out" being one of them. Your EPG is showing the West Midlands (i.e. Birmingham) one. This particular programme is only on iPlayer, and channel 984, and BBC1 as viewed in the middle/south of England. I'll record Ch 984 and put it on YouTube anyway.

Well then whats the point of calling it BBC one then?

[arranj]

Dunno - it's a throwback to the "public service" days, and analogue TV. If you're in Brighton, this is what you see on Channel 1. If you live in Birmingham then you get Pete Waterman instead. There is also a local news programme on at 18.30. For 23 out of the other 24 hours everyone in the country gets the same.

It's on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wcq27

Not a lot of DeLorean on it - but it's at the start. I couldn't really watch it - lots of guff about benefits and "why can't I sit on my batty and the state pay for my Sky subscription" etc.etc. - Probably didn't say that at all, but that's what I heard!
