Least-appropriately named eyewitness in the history of television, on Flickr.

Whilst waiting for Broken News to start on BBC4, we were wondering whether they’d accidentally started broadcasting it on BBC News 24 when we heard a telephone interview given by the least-appropriately named eyewitness in the history of television…

I saw this as well and couldn’t believe it was true. Tried to get a photo, but it had gone by the time I got my camera out. Good job getting a photo.

Noone at work believes me that my friend took this photo. If the name wasn’t enough, the fact the time is 21:11 (911) kind of takes the mick/ices the cake. Harumph.

♪ striking a note on the web

Why *BBC* Dimensions? :: On Newsnight a couple of weeks ago, Emily Maitlis chaired a discussion between David McCandless (author of Information is Beautiful) and Neville Brody on displaying statistics and historical facts in unusual, interesting and relative ways. That's the BBC I like. Like Rich, I'm not sure the BBC needs another website (not hosted at the BBC, either) to fawn over now but forget about later.
Seth Priebatsch: The game layer on top of the world :: Farmville has more users than Twitter. Eek.
BBC Genome: The Complete Broadcast History of the BBC :: This is a really lovely project.
Dear 8 year-old Teresa :: Teresa Juniso gets a 21-years-too-late letter from the Wil Wheaton fan club she tried to join in 1988.
Is the web really dead? :: Debunking Wired's graph showing overall web traffic shrinking. Proportionally it may be declining, but in volume absolutely not.
Journalism Warning Labels « Tom Scott :: Want some of these!
What cyclists can be fined for :: These are way too lenient. I'm forever being run over by cyclists on zebra crossings.
How To Be Alone :: Lonely is healing if you make it
Best goal celebration ever! :: Iceland's football league do something a bit fishy when they get one in the net (via @spaceboy)
Fabulous Ex-Gay Explains How Straight He Is :: "I used to have the best-looking boyfriend on the Castro". LOL.
Clare Balding vs AA Gill :: "It may be your job to defend your writer and your editorial team but if you really think that homophobia does not exist and was not demonstrated beyond being ‘the butt of a joke’ then we have a problem."
Time Machine Editor :: Handy little app which gives control over how frequently your Mac will back up.
