@both: Hmm, I had the same feeling. Rang a bell, but couldn't place it. I think I remembered it from here (Jan), but apparently (don't remember but might have seen) there was a piece about it on the BBC website last week: [www.bbc.co.uk]

Could be wrong and it doesn't matter much to me because I can't read it, but the journal link doesn't seem to be working. Is this it? [www.tandfonline.com] (could just not be working for me for some reason though [shrugs]) #Corrections ?

I mean 'pass mark' ugh. Loads of edits and I still miss obvious stuff.
If these guys (Pic by Ming Doyle ) got in then it couldn't have been that hard, surely? (Or maybe they'd lowered the pass rate a wee bit by that point? JLA Antarctica. :)
There was a rather good series on BBC4 a few years ago about the work of Albert Kahn, a banker who paid for people to travel the world and photograph its diversity, often in colour, from around 1908/9. If you've the time its worth a watch (well I enjoyed it). Edwardians in Colour: The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn…
Found it. Really wasn't paying attention. It's Pt6 of the same doc (segment starts at 6min20sec) where they talk about finding an original colour print and restoring it.

Couldn't find the program I was looking for, but I would swear I saw a doc with Paul Merton on BBC4 a little while ago where they talked about finding an original (but quite damaged) colour print and basically digitising and repairing it frame by frame. This (google quick view) pdf talks about the project and the…
(partly to satisfy my own curiosity) Slashfilm says stop motion: [link], so claymation then. (Gah, I wasn't paying attention, the press release on Hey U Guys mentions stop motion as well. Ah well.)
Works from kroq.radio.com, but for some reason not with Opera (least not for me, could be my set up [shrugs], don't know), although it works fine in chrome. I blame the site, but I have not proof. Anyway it works in chrome.....
Sorry, I didn't upload it and it was the only copy I could see from a quick search. As it is I wasn't sure about posting the link if the people who made it took it down. (just a guess)
Professor Brian Cox wandering round various exotic locations all over the world that are somehow related to whatever specific part of the subject he's talking very enthusiastically about and around (eg explaining entropy with a sand castle) at the time. I'm sure there's more than 15min of simulations and views of…

Slightly surprised no one's (re)posted this (maybe a bit obvious), it looks rather good in HD. After watching for a while you have to wonder what was going through his mind as he went round up there. How it felt. Well I did anyway.[www.firstorbit.org] (Although I think the site is maybe a bit swamped atm)
@sometingwong: This mountain. Although I'm not sure of the pronunciation, since I think it's a Welsh name. It might not rhyme. Oh, and Gorringe. Yes I watch QI.
Bit late, but for the people saying it's blocked this copy: [www.youtube.com] works for me.
Not really relevant, but his (Neil Oliver) ten part history of Scotland was good as well.
