Never noticed that about the missing leg! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-201101 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 17:04:39 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 201101@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bum the Dog makes it onto tonight's show, from 7pm on STV Edinburgh. Apparently compliance have had a field day with the number of times 'Bum' is used, and especially my closing sort-of-pun of getting to the bottom of Bum. So we'll see how much makes the cut....</p> <p>Oh, and it was really windy, so my hair might be quite extravagant. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-199815 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:38:55 +0000 wingpig 199815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Suggest the doocot next, so that you can explain how it's very handy for both the shops and the zoo and can be easily-reached upon a bicycle using Simon Parker International Cycle Network routes R2 and G22. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-199809 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:16:36 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 199809@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You'll get bored of these - have just done a film about Bum the Dog in my lunch hour. Now that was a challenge. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-199291 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 12:02:01 +0000 tammytroot 199291@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good stuff WC. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-199275 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 11:04:24 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 199275@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's a bit odd gembo!</p> <p>Next up, Bum the Dog. Yes, really. Will have enough material for a series soon... ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-198910 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 19:42:17 +0000 gembo 198910@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not sure why but on my I player mostly was soundtrack with some still images. Still interesting. Note the side bar had piece about our favourite portobello beach piano man but i did not watch that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-198829 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 11:15:36 +0000 ARobComp 198829@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had a quick look while drinking a coffee there. A very enjoyable section and you come across very well. Needs more actual cycling and speaking ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-198787 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 09:28:56 +0000 Min 198787@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, we gave in quite quickly. Will try on the STV player. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-198763 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 23:55:35 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 198763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Little later in than usual, and I think cos they edited it much longer - got about 5 minutes, whereas the last one was cut down to about half that length!</p> <p>16 minutes in, just after a cooking bit...</p> <p><a href="http://player.stv.tv/episode/34en/fountainbridge-showthe-fountainbridge-show/" rel="nofollow">http://player.stv.tv/episode/34en/fountainbridge-showthe-fountainbridge-show/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-198759 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 22:51:26 +0000 Min 198759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm, had a wee look but didn't see it. I think you got dumped for the magician. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539&page=2#post-198732 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 16:24:40 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 198732@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well it only seems like a week ago....</p> <p>I 'think' the next piece is on tonight, filmed while I was on my hols. Covering Dr Neil's Garden, and the wee bit of sporting history it contains (as well as some art history alongside Duddingston Loch). Indebted to Jim Baird, the lovely chap who is the chair of the trust that looks after the garden.</p> <p>Not entirely sure when I'm going to be able to do more - back to work, and no holidays, nor flexi, available, and filming tends to be 9-5 Mon-Fri.... Which is a bit of a pain. Been asked if I could do something for the wildlife show CitySafari as well, and they're keen on foxes - couldn't really be more tailor made. Have offered to do something at next week's Cyclefest, which is at least a weekend gig. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-197633 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 19:11:09 +0000 amir 197633@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good one WC </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-197627 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 17:06:14 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 197627@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In the words of Father Jack, "What's that Eejit doing on the television?"</p> <p>Fountainbridge Show tonight, starts at 7.05pm, and my piece on Porty Pottery is going to be on. The Kaff features quite heavily, and there's even some talking while cycling.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-193733 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 08:56:29 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 193733@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will be riding again....

Now that would make a very classy "trademark" for a cycling historian B-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-185002 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 12:48:39 +0000 tammytroot 185002@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great job WC.<br /> Hopefully will become a regular feature. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184976 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 01:14:08 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 184976@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If I ever finish my Sunbeam it'll be my tweed baker boy hat...</p> <p>@Stickman, I actually sort of lead a ride that took in the Marbles a couple of years ago!

Wear whatever jaunty headwear you feel is appropriate for the bike/area/moment. Might be a helmet, might be a beanie! ;-) YOUR choice, unless they insist on all presenters in cars wearing flameproof overalls "just in case"! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184966 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:20:15 +0000 Stickman 184966@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just watched this: a star is born!</p> <p>I thought you were really natural and came across really well; you'd never have known it was your first time! Interesting wee piece and I'm looking forward to the next one. </p> <p>Ever thought of doing an organised cycling history tour of Edinburgh? I'd be interested in coming along. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184795 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:31:39 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 184795@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you're in the meat bit interested, it was the first segment last night. FB and Twitter have been kind about it :)</p> <p><a href="http://player.stv.tv/programmes/fountainbridge-show/2015-03-31-1905/" rel="nofollow">http://player.stv.tv/programmes/fountainbridge-show/2015-03-31-1905/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184583 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:38:59 +0000 Stickman 184583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Technology has been set to record :-)</p> <p>The show has got quite an old-fashioned feeling, hasn't it? There are no fancy graphics, dramatic reconstructions or moody shots of the presenter thinking deeply (cf Philomena Cunk). It's just someone talking to camera about something interesting in a fairly concise manner, with relevant photos/film. The (presumably) low budget is working to their advantage. </p> <p>I like it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184571 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:04:22 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 184571@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Scratch that. TOMORROW night. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184567 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:44:20 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 184567@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>STV Player on the STV website for both the shows. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184555 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:23:19 +0000 Ed1 184555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I dont have a tv is this show normally on you tube or anything? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184554 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:15:24 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 184554@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So. 'Should' be on tonight. A segment ppb the Fountainbridge Show which starts at 7.30, then also on the People's History show at 8.30. And on catch up on the STV Player. </p> <p>I recorded a couple of voiceover bits last Wednesday, and they confirmed they'd like me to do more, so it's entirely down to my availability. </p> <p>The cycling aspect is even going to go as far as route suggestions :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-184436 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 02:09:35 +0000 Stickman 184436@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd recorded a couple of these after finding out about it through this thread, and watched them this evening. </p> <p>Very interesting, and with an endearing "amateur enthusiast" vibe about it. </p> <p>Found out a lot of things about the history of Maryhill in Glasgow (near where I grew up) and Fountainbridge. Also a bit about Edinburgh's oldest pubs, and the fair at Portobello. </p> <p>Looking forward to WC on Monday! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-183639 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:59:27 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 183639@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sadly not, it's only going to be a four minute or so segment. Planted the seed though. Although there was quite a bit of Lafayette coverage during the anniversary of the Festival Theatre. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-183605 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 14:04:08 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 183605@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was it solely about the marbles, or did you manage to include a wee bit on their neighbour, The Great Lafayette? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14539#post-183583 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 10:50:32 +0000 Min 183583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cool, will be tuning in. :-) </p>
