I am enthused!

The BBC has posted their prototype searchable Programme Catalogue. Naturally, I had to poke around.

A search for Dave Gorman shows his two television programs (The Dave Gorman Collection, and The Important Astrology Experiment) as well as a bunch of appearances on television and radio, but not his radio show, Genius.

Searching for "Doctor Who" doesn't work. The show is cataloged as "Dr. Who."

I just reported an error on this page. Let's see how long it takes to clear up.

It's fun to pick words at random and see what comes up. The more amusing the word, the more likely it is to get hits from children's shows and sketch comedy.

My favorite new find so far is The Enthusiasts, a show that seems to pop up on television and radio from time to time, and is about precisely what the title suggests. Each episode is about a different group of people who are enthusiastic about something. Book collectors, Ham radio operators, Baton Twirlers and so forth. I really want to see/hear this show.
