Deja-vu all over again

No joy for me in the Children's BAFTA nominations, again. Surprise! It's a somewhat odd year all told, I reckon: Dick & Dom are set to stir up some controversy, what with OFCOM's formal comment that Parent Bogies is not the sort of thing the BBC should be doing. Props to the Jungle Run team for securing another nomination, and I'm glad Globo Loco is there again -- it gets neither the credit nor the audience I think it deserves.

Wow! D&D really do crop up on the OFCOM site a lot, don’t they! Must admit I’ve not watched it in ages.

As for awards, just remember that, in my experience, it’s not what you do, it’s who you do it for.
