Got an interview with BBC working lunch!

[Ian]

Well, was fairly odd how this came about. Our school won some award, and about 30 education officials from around the UK to take a look at our school. I was chosen to represent business enterprise, and I had to show them my website, and what I breed, sell, etc.

Anyway, my head teacher got an email a few days later from one of these education officials, saying that the BBC wanted to talk to the "boy who breeds bugs". Kinda took some guessing as to who that was.

So, I got in contact with them, and they WERE supposed to come and film me and my bugs today, but apparently they couldn't make it. So, scheduled for next Tuesday!

She told me to get some interesting bugs in, so I am "hiring" some wonderful specimens off Lee, which should be great for the macro filming they will do.

Will let all know when it will be shown on TV.

Thanks guys!! I am not sure when it will actually be shown, however I think she will send me a copy on a DVD through the post.

Will upload it for all to see

Here are a couple of photos I took whilst they were filming:

Well, thought I would post up a few photos whilst having lunch. Will probs have a few more to come when they have finished

ooo, an E.calcarata... shame it wasn't a male- watching them trying to pull them away would have been funny... they're mean!

Nice going though- too lazy to record working lunch so show us the link on youtube!

 

[Jwonni]

i missed it have not looked at this thread since first put on did ya record it?

 

[Ian]

It is available to download off the working lunch website!

I think you might just have to do a search for "bug business", or something like that.

 

[wuwu]

i saw the program, very cool! it was near the end of the program so i had to FF the first 40 minutes or so. so have the hits to your site increased after they showed the show?

the guy said at the end that "the battens need their own reality show." haha

 

[OGIGA]

I saw the article on the BBC website. Pretty cool! I didn't find a link for video though.
