At the end of last year I was asked to take part in a BBC4 documentary, which involved being gently probed by softly spoken rock’n'roll poet Simon Armitage. How could I refuse (media tart that I am)?
Simon Armitage and talks tech with Tom Dunmore
The result was finally broadcast this week. It’s called Upgrade Me and I think it’s a rather splendid documentary – even the 56 minutes that don’t feature me. If you’re quick (and live in the UK), you can catch Upgrade Me over on the BBC iPlayer.
And for tardy or foreign visitors? Well, fear not. In flagrant disregard of copyright law, I’ve uploaded the chat between Simon and myself to YouTube. Fingers crossed it stays there. If we had a fair use law in the UK, I reckon this would fall under it. But we don’t, so i’m going to say this blog post is a review and the YouTube clip is nothing more than a quotation.
Albeit a self-aggrandising quotation. Click for more.
