The C4 interviewer REALLY WANTED the word "hamfisted" in there. Fine by me ;-) The process was, we discussed what I had to say and how she'd like that put in a soundbite (every word and every split-second counts), so I said my piece six or seven times in different ways so they'd have something usable in a broadcast. And the news is in fact plotted out to the split-second, as of course that's the only way to get a whole world of news into 30 or 60 minutes. You know, I think I've become quite a fan of C4 News. The programme was really good all the way through. As far as I could tell. They certainly covered our bit well. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
