101.1 TTD No. 35 - Play a Part in your Favourite TV or Radio Show



Thanks to Lauren Laverne and BBC 6 Music I completed Thing To Do No. 35 (Play a Part in your Favourite TV or Radio Show) from the 101 Things To Do Before You Die yesterday when Lauren serenaded Professor Brian Cox with a little poem I wrote for the A is for Armageddon book.

Even though I've left London behind for Norwich, familiar voices and names keep floating out the radio ...

The other day I woke to hear a familiar voice of my friend Colin, my WWF friend (the panda hugging type not the wrestling animals type) who helped me with the facts in the Armageddon book. He was talking on the Today programme about species extinction, save the Tuna and that.

Scroll down to link at 0848 to hear him ...

Then as the day went on I heard some other names float out of the radio via Lauren Laverne's show. She mentioned Leigh and Katy. Lauren was creating a picture gallery of Indie Easter Eggs and Leigh sent in these two great photos worth it for Katy's expression alone - Pics 24 & 25 below ...

So after hearing this lot on the radio I decided to get a piece of the radio action too. I'll let the video speak for itself ... hope you like it ...

Hope you like it!

Very cool! I don't think I'll be able to accomplish this thing b/c my favorite show is Friends. Oh well, I'll have to get a new favorite TV show.

Thanks! it's funny you should say friends was your favourite show as this was the show I based the illustration and form in the book on. I think I revised the page to incorporate shows that had finished in later editions, but I can't remember if I added this update to the site or not ...
