BBC coverage to be given the "Olympics treatment"

[salvador wali]

Had it on very good authority that the Beeb will only be filming one more stage then normal. So pyramid, other, holts, Jp +???

Not read the full 14 pages but seems some BBC bashing going on. Don't want to get invoked in that but I will say that the guys who mix and record the sound for TV and radio are up their with the best sound engineers in the world

On that basis, the Park surely?

I was wondering if they might show more 'non-music' stuff though. Cabaret, Circus, Comedy etc....

[Morse Code]

They always film a bit of the rest of the fest, apart from The Park which has been strictly no cameras, I believe. I think the big new dance tent is more likely than The Park.

I think the dance area might be a good shout.

[LondonTom]

Yeah I'd say its likely the dance stage will be fitted out for broadcast....one for the yoof!

[neilloggie]

I watched the last part of the beebs Africa series last might...

so good on so many levels.

As far as performing a public service, in helping people be aware of how important everything on the planet is, I really can't imagine anyone, anywhere doing a better job. Very sensitively done, reasons for hope and optimism, while at the same time implying that time is running out.

Who else would have the resources, including the time, to make a programme like that?

[Bisque]

The penguin programme that has been on BBC1 for the past 3 weeks has been absolutely brilliant, their nature programmes are absolutely brilliant.

That's what the view from the Stone Circle always looks like for me anyway.
