BBC attacked by authors for 'sneering tone' in book shows 85 authors, including Iain Banks and Michael Moorcock, sign protest letter to director general of the BBC over coverage of 'genre fiction'. The BBC has been attacked for its "sneering coverage" of genre fiction during its World Book Night programmes. BBC Two's programmes The Books We Really Read: A Culture Show Special and New Novelists: 12 Of The Best, which were shown on March 5, triggered the protest. The 85 signatories to a letter to Mark Thompson, the director general of the BBC, include the Gold Dagger-nominated crime author SJ Bolton and children's writer Debi Gliori. Many fantasy, science fiction and horror authors – including Iain Banks and Michael Moorcock - also signed the letter. View article

HANDBAGS OUT FOR AUNTY In the absence of any handbags at dawn battles on the MB - an Easter truce? - it's interesting to see that even poor old Aunty is not immune to her share of browbeating. Wd like to have seen that programme; hopefully 1 day some year it turns up on BBC World

Thx for the tips lads. but, do you realize you are talking to The Original TechnoLuddite? Somebody gave me an MP3? the other day - anyway, something that reminded me of parliamentarians & military police. Now have to wait for my friendly TechnoNerd to come & instruct me, as well as setting up my new laptop. life used to be so trouble free with battered olivettis & homing pigeons.
