The Lengths We'll Go To
"Tell me Jeff, " said the man in the hotel, "do you think length is important?"
To explain, I was in the Presidential Room at the Ramada Jarvis hotel in Inverness, taking part in a session organised as part of the event. I was on a panel of commissioners which included colleagues from the 麻豆官网首页入口 and an Entertainment commissioner from Channel 4.
The conference room was packed out and the chap who asked me the question about length was of course talking about the duration of programmes. That didn't prevent an outbreak of sniggers and some tasteless story about pornography told by, well, me actually.
Things got back on an even keel when the discussion moved on to the support of new talent and live music and as the session ended I was approached by a charming lady called Lynda Henderson who told me about the work of in Argyll.
Three of the other panel members had come armed with DVD and Powerpoint presentations. As usual it took forever to get the audio visual equipment working so I was glad I'd decided to wing it.
In these cases the projector always works but the laptop fails. I must develop a presentation that relies only on hand shadows.
