BBC 2W to Close

I was sad this morning to read on Digital Spy that BBC 2W is to close. Another sad loss from the BBC cutbacks. Regional television is great; I dislike the way ITV has lost its regional identity over the past 10 years. Last year, former Ultralab (1990-2006) colleague Geraint Lang and I headed over to Wales to work for BBC 2W, making the Christmas animation idents with some really creative six-year-olds. This was one of the best projects I ever had the pleasure of working on, a great end to my career at Ultralab (1990-2006) (RIP). The team behind BBC 2W is quite simply brilliant. A sad day for regional television. See the pictures and read about the 2W Christmas Ident Project. Watch the final idents that were created by the six-year-olds.
