For all my friends across the pond:
Blog Wars on BBC 4
17 January 2007 - BBC4 - 10.30pm

2006 was the year that blogs bookmarked their place on the political scene. Brook Lapping Productions’ ‘Blog War’ team was there to see it happen.
Blogs are dismissed and heralded in equal measure. Some call them a platform for unpublishable nerds and obsessives. Others say they have renewed American democracy.
Conservative blogs came from nowhere in 2004 to help tilt the Presidential election in favour of George Bush. In 2006 liberal bloggers hit back, landing punches across the country as Bush ‘took a thumping’.
The ‘Blog Wars’ team interviewed the biggest players in the blogosphere and gained intimate access to the hottest primary of the year, where a blog-driven campaign in Connecticut tried to force 18-year incumbent and Washington heavyweight Joe Lieberman off the Democratic ticket.

Hope you like it.
Spazeboy was under the spell of his girl, who thought she wanted a boy with black hair; she finally thought better of it, and he's back to his normal shade of ghostly white.
And now they're getting married!
Ah, the folly of youth...
Watched that Bob,it was good,not the type of prog i'd usally watch,thought you were bang out of order swearing on our bbc,by the way has anyone mentioned that spazeboy looks like prince harry?
If I'd known the BBC was going to use it, I would have said "bloody buggering bastard!" instead. I know they love that kind of language.
Hey, I just watched the first season of "Extras", it's great! I liked "The Office", and think Ricky Gervais is frickin' hysterical.
