a real missed opportunity, once again, IMHO.
Over 10 years ago I approached the BBC with an idea of a 90 minute DVD of motor racing film from their archive ...'Treasures From the BBC'.
Remember that I used to work for the BBC and have produced programmes / DVD's.
Through my contacts I spoke to the guy who was the head of '2Entertain' (I think it was then), the BBC's official programme releasing company. He was a guy I knew when I worked there. I explained what I wanted to do; would produce the whole thing myself, get someone like Murray Walker to do the links, interrogate the BBC computer system properly (rather than a 'researcher' do it for me) and thereby pull some un-seen gems from the archive and put it out.
His reply? It was too much like hard work for them.
Even though I offered to do EVERYTHING for it! Oh well.............
