I've known for a while now that I'm different. Not like the rest of the population. Strange. Excluded. Living on the very edges of society. And why is that I hear you ask?

Well, because I haven't seen many films.

I came to this realisation live on-air way back in February and have been living with my condition ever since. You can hear me and Emma unearthing just how many 'classics' I haven't seen:

So starting this week I'm going to be getting treatment for my cultural deprivation. I'm going to be watching 1 classic film, every week between now and the end of term. It's a bold move I know. And seeing as the show's all about getting you involved, I thought we might as well enjoy this 'rehab' process together. So every Friday on the show I'll be hosting the Friday Film Club, a chance for us (soon to be) film buffs to discuss a different film each week.

Listen in tomorrow to help me pick the first film and follow my journey of motion picture discovery each week between now and the end of term.

p.s. If you're already a massive film fan, listen to The Film Show every Friday from 6pm. Those guys actually know what they're talking about.

If you caught the show yesterday you'll know that I've got a new obsession this week. It's those delightful promotional videos that you see on big screens in supermarkets and other generic household shops. Often found in the homewares section, they try and sell you everything from mops, steamers, irons and rubber gloves to peelers, knives and fryers.

I thought it was a bit unfair that products in the other supermarket aisles weren't getting the same shiny-talking-plasma-screen attention, so we decided to make our own promotion video (in audio form!) With Stu's help, we gave one particular dairy product the promotional help that it needs with its very own in-store video.

We had a chat about how amazing these videos really are:

And then we created our very own promotional spiel live on-air (and discovered that Stu's a natural at this in the process). Have a listen to the finished product:
