We won't be using any of these clips in the final 'cast, but this should give everyone an idea of what it's all about.

Enjoy!

On my way to spread the word.

YouTube hates me

I am logged in, but I can't seem to comment on clips, or indeed anything.

So will just have to shove comment here, which is suboptimal:

Nice one Rich, it looks pretty cool. Both of the main clips are great - makes me wish I could think of some 'proper' contribution to make to Beeblecast the Second (or First, if this was Noughth?), but so far, just drawing blanks (or rather shorts), so muchos kudos for B'Elana and Leo

Just one question: AutoCapitalIsatioN Why? I probably deserve sad-git-of-the-year-award for this, but do I ever sign off as VP or VogonPoet? Not unless my Caps button is stuck.

No other minor nitpicks though
vp

You're the only vogonpoet, therefore you're a proper noun, ergo you have caps

Glad you like the trial, though! It was Beeblecast the Knocked Up On A Whim Effort, so the First is still to come. If nothing else, your links are going to prove invaluable.

I should also point out, rather smugly, that Leo wrote the '...Inboxes' article, EMR recorded the audio, and I made the video

Fair enough, kudos to EMR also .

vp

Thanks, vp.

I'm sure you'll come up with an idea soon.

We'll see.

Meanwhile, am I the only one who can't even leave a comment on YouTube? I really can't work out what the hell is going wrong... Pretty sure my email address is confirmed, and everything looks like its working (the post button changes to say my comment is being uploaded or whatever) right up to moment page should refresh with my comment.

I'm such a noob .

I really have no idea. You left a comment on Rich's account alright, can't think why you can't comment on a clip. Is it every clip, or just those from Rich? Did you try the AViators' account, with the approved clips?

I tried leaving comments on clips for the official account and for Rich's account, and tried replying to comments already left, again at both accounts, and nothing worked... I seem to have managed to leave one comment at the official version of the cricket clip though...

Maybe its just my connection being rubbish, although if I can download a 3 minute clip i dont see why I cant upload a 50 word text comment.

Looks as if you are persona non grata then.

That's weird; I have that problem sometimes as well. Sometimes it lets me fill in the comment form and press the button, but the comment never appears.

Do you think the PY is on YouTube, too?

There's an update in this week's Post:

Hey rich, in your whats going on explanation, you have a without without an out:

"The first clip is Bel's reading of her poem encouraging people to join in the Beeblecast. It's a fairly straightforward montage of pictures from the site put together to accompany the words of the poem. To me, this is a great way of illustrating clips *with* having to record full..."

Its a bit confusing.

You're right, it should be without. I'm going to amend it.

Done.

You guys are so efficient its scary

She's good
