Billy Liar Update

[callmemadam]

I wrote here about the fiftieth anniversary of Billy Liar and complained that no one seemed to be marking it. Wrong! Next Thursday on Radio 4 you can hear Billy Liar: Fifty Years on, presented by Blake Morrison. Of course it's on at a silly time when I'm unlikely to be listening so I hope it will be available to listen again.

I'll just get in another rant about the BBC website. I knew the programme was on because I'd heard a trailer for it. Searching the site, though, brought up 0 whereas Googling found it in a flash. Harrumph!

The search facility on the BBC website is utterly useless. You would think it would not be that hard to create a function that, when you type in the actual name of a programme, takes you to the programme's website. But no. Normally I end up with a lot of irrelevant links to local news stories from 2003.

Exactly what happened!

Why won't the BBC listen? Instead, they boast about 'improvements' to the site. Doh!
