Which I understand, I had a go at this without success this weekend, so I think first I need to go back to basics and learn how my camera works "What does ISO mean!" But hopefully I'll get there one day. That said I really like the effect of the above so may try it again sometime! Thanks Ben, I used Photomatrix,

I was surprised that Frank Skinner was in both the Pilot and the first episode. The show followed the same plot as the pilot but had less TV News in it. In the pilot there were a lot of BBC fake news stories. However as mentioned in the show the BBC have banned their news staff from creating fake news stories. All in all, I think it's an interesting concept but not a very gripping show, To be honest I do think I will watch every show, but if I have 30 mins and its on iPlayer there are a lot worst things.

I haven't seen it yet but if anyone is interested its on at 10pm, Fridays, on BBC 2 - Or available after online on the BBC iPlayer.

]]> Comment on Dragons Den Series 7 Episode 5 by admin http://www.charlesbarsley.com/2009/08/12/dragons-den-series-7-episode-5/comment-page-1/#comment-1089 admin Fri, 14 Aug 2009 05:47:35 +0000 http://www.charlesbarsley.com/?p=522#comment-1089 LOL - I knew it would happen. Someone has registered the web address mrspstreasuredrecipes.co.uk currently it's just redirecting to the BBC site. If they are trying to make money from the domain name it's a really time sensitive one, and they should have got a instant site up within an hour. One easy way of doing this would be to create an amazon a-store to populate the site with a handpicked range of cook books. However you would still have trouble getting the site indexed quickly enough by google. Personally I don't think it's worth the effort, the search term is very long, it wasn't a key point in the show or series so there isn't going to be a lot of search traffic for the term and any traffic there is will die within a week. Interestingly currently there are only two websites on google for the term mrspstreasuredrecipes.co.uk and this is one of them! I have had a small amount of traffic for it, but much more for the product / inventor names. LOL – I knew it would happen.
