	BBC - Science & Nature - Planet Earth
		The lives of animals and plants are dominated by the sun and fresh water which trigger seasonal journeys.
		Planet Earth captures unique and dramatic moments of animal behaviour: a showdown between smooth-coated otters and mugger crocodiles; deep-diving long tailed macaques; massive flocks of snow geese on the wing and a piranha frenzy in the perilous waters of the world's largest wetland.
		Descending into the abyss, deep sea octopus fly with wings and vampire squid use bioluminescence to create an extraordinary colour display.

	Anthropology Review Database
		The first part of the series, Wilderness, (http://www.films.com/item.cfm?bin=10374) portrays the sophisticated cultures of pre-contact Native America and chronicles the history of Indian-White contact from the time of European incursion into the New World to the tragedy of Wounded Knee.
		Despite these minor shortcomings, the film deals well with a long series of complicated issues, providing the viewer with both historical occurrences and personal consequences of these events through its lively presentation of Native voices.
		This work is to be highly commended and would be of particular value in history, government, social justice, and Native studies courses and as a general introduction to the often tragic history of Indian-white relations.

	Paul McCartney (and Wings): Nostalgia
		Wings pared down to a trio in late 1973 that consisted of the two McCartneys and Laine.
		Wings At The Speed Of Sound was a surprisingly democratic album in which all the members took a turn at singing and also contributed to the songwriting.
		In 1977, Wings scored a major hit in the U.K. with “Mull Of Kintyre,” a Scottish-style song featuring a pipe band that became one of the biggest-selling singles in British history.

	Earthbound Timelords: "'On With The Show': _Doctor Who_'s Legacy After Cancellation"
		As the New Adventures reached its fiftieth title, the series had seen the Doctor's last TV companion leave to be replaced by a number of other characters who are even today carrying on in spin-off novels and CDs of their own.
		BBC Books, as a branch of BBC Worldwide, had been around for years but they could now see a profitable side to _Doctor Who_ and the New Adventures line ceased.
		At the BBC there were plans to do a special one-off story featuring all the Doctors which could be shown on television but would be released on video first to take full opportunity of the commercial aspect of any such venture.

	The Life of Birds \| About Sir David
		Like all his series, Life of Birds is very much his series, written to his own words, put together largely as he planned it.
		He began the series, as he does all his series, with an outline of the questions he wants to ask and answer, the subjects he wants to cover.
		He made some of the first fl and white TV nature films, then rose to be the BBC’s director of TV programmes when colour TV was being introduced in Britain.

	UK spider research interests BBC documentary filmmakers to Lexington
		In early September Sir David and a team of documentary filmmakers from the BBC's famed Natural History Unit set up cameras at the University of Kentucky's Spindletop research farm to capture the predatory talents of the bolas spider, which feeds at night.
		While Kevin Flay filmed Attenborough and the spider, a second producer/cameraman recorded footage of Haynes and Yeargan interacting with Attenborough and the BBC team, and Haynes said those shots may be included in a "making of" program highlighting behind-the-scenes details of how the main documentary was put together.
		Attenborough's completed series "Life in the Undergrowth" likely will be available to British audiences sometime in 2006, and American audiences a few months later, according to the BBC.

	Ravin' Ray's Pterosaur FAQ's
		It means "wing finger" and it is an apt description; the wing of the pterosaur is supported mainly by an elongated fourth digit along the forward edge.
		After all, bird wings consist of several feathers that can be replaced one at a time without an appreciable loss of support; and bat wings are supported by four elongated digits that prevent a tear from running down its entire length.
		This also meant that their wings weren't attached to the base of their legs, as was traditionally thought; the wings instead connected to their hips.

	"Wings" (1977) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The "Wings" BBC TV series about the adventures of a fictional group of Royal Flying Corps personnel was most interesting and I have been searching for the series on video and/or DVD for a number of years.
		The series was repeated on the UK Gold digital TV channel some years ago.
		I believe that the outdoor and flying scenes were filmed at Lasham airfield in Hampshire, using a full size non-flying model of the BE2c aircraft, which apparently showed an urge to fly when it was taxied across the airfield, while the flying scenes used large radio-controlled models, many of which were destroyed during filming.

	Zap2it - TV news - McCartney Talks About His Wife and Wings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Expectations for Wings were huge, heightened by the inclusion of McCartney's wife Linda as a pivotal member.
		Some Wings music was banned by England's BBC, and the band's lineup changed several times during its decade-long existence (with McCartney doing jail time in Japan for marijuana possession near the end).
		He took us through the story of each of the kids, and we thought, 'That would have made a fantastic TV hour.' That's where the idea for 'Wingspan' came from, since we asked Alistair to put together something about Wings as well as our family.

	Rupert Sheldrake - Morphogenetic Fields And Beyond
		Next, on TV so that you can reach large numbers of people, you teach the TV viewers how to see one of the hidden images, but do not show the other.
		The first of these TV experiments was done in Britain in 1983 with 2 million viewers.
		I hope the next series of experiments of this type will involve repeated exposure of subjects to hidden images, because the whole hypothesis is based on the idea of habitual patterns of response, and in this run, pictures were shown only once.

		Some reviewers and fans have suggested that Steerpike's character in the books and TV series differ significantly in a number of ways, not all to the good.
		What remains with me most, now that many of the secondary plot elements are forgotten (before seeing the BBC production) is partly Peake's wonderfully evocative prose (which was used largely verbatim in the TV series), but most of all the dark, vast, yet labyrinthine castle that is Gormenghast.

	BBC's Series Absolutely Fabulous Back With 12 New Episodes!!!
		To take a sitcom that was a hit and ended its series like Cheers, Wings, Seinfeild, 3rd Rock and Golden Girls, I think, why don't these hits come back with their series again.
		Yes this TV series pushes certain issues over the line and even crosses that line but as tasteless as it may seem to some people, you can not ignore the talented cast, writers, and creativity of this series.
		This TV sitcom does not handle problems or issues in a religious way, such as getting back to sobriety through God, dealing with the problem by critical people who stand on their soap box lecturing, or in a tear jerking manner in which everyone, "sees the light." This shows approach is entirely the opposite.

		BBC News Online's Editor-in-Chief explains their reasons for the change here.

		Anyway, the Beeb paid for the development of their tv service with the proceeds of the radio licence, so i don't see why they can't develop the website with money from the tv one.

	Abracadabrah I create as I speak
		At the secret meeting in London last month, which was hosted by veteran broadcaster Sue Lawley, BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, deliberately promotes multiculturalism, is anti-American, anti-countryside and more sensitive to the feelings of Muslims than Christians.
		One veteran BBC executive said: 'There was widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness...
		Given this self evaluation, this catalogue of errant biases, it is interesting to note that news outlets like the BBC are part of an ongoing effort to turn being a supporter of Israel into the new transgressive activity.

		While completing his honours degree in Psychology (4 bloody years), Voiceover man began his career at the BBC, where after lying about how old he was, holds the unique distinction of being the youngest ever TV news presenter in the history of the corporation - at the tender age of 17.
		He was the main promotions voice for BBC 1 TV for 6 years, and created, wrote and performed many of the household name characters for Steve Wright's groundbreaking afternoon and morning award winning shows on BBC Radio 1 during the 80's and early 90's.
		Dennis Potter, the acclaimed tv playwright and a fan of Voiceover Man's Radio shows offered him, more out of pity than anything else, some small cameo roles in several of his controversial and award winning TV Dramas.
