Our time with the BBC is drawing to a close. Soon it will be time to bid Auntie Beeb goodbye, grasp our towels firmly, and journey to our new home wherever it may be.
In honour of h2g2's ten years with the BBC, The Post announces the Saving The Best For Last contest and wants to encourage researchers to submit all types of audiovisual as well as written entries.
Your entry should address the theme of change in some way. You might look back fondly on the good, old days, navigate a sea of change, or explore new horizons.
You can find out more about the competition here.

Superfrenchie Posted Jun 8, 2011
It couldn't possibly! Or is it already 16?!?

paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted Jun 8, 2011
Yes, it's 16, but don't tell TPTB that it's 16 hours, not 16 years.
