Just heard the from BBC – the Video Nation short Aaron and I did some time ago will be shown on BBC 2 TV Wed 3rd Nov at around 10.25pm.
This is a film short only a couple of minutes long – previously available for streaming download on the BBC website but now also being shown on National BBC 2.
It is a personal view for the public’s consumption so don’t expect a demonstration of cutting edge technical riding - it’s more about muni and the publics perception of us.
I remember watching it and it’s a good, thoughtful piece.
I did a search in Video nation & found this from 2002 by mistake! videonation southampton_unicycle I’m confident it’s been mentioned here before, without checking!
Thanks Mike, I am glad you liked it – should look a little better this time - being on the real TV so to speak.
Aaron and I wanted to do a real hard core film and include some very hard steep riding with high, big views of the fells etc. but that is not what Video Nation is about of course so they wouldn’t let us. But at least we got some unicycling on National TV anyway.

Hope you catch this in time. Is it still on? I can’t seem to find it
in the tv programma guide (paper). I think it should be 11:25 pm Dutch
time but I see a comedy starting at 10:30 (Dutch time) and News Night
at 11:30 (Dutch time).

It’s a very short programme, on between Arrested Development and
Newsnight. It might not be listed in some papers.

OK that was a great little program. I think you hit exactly the right
‘tone’ in your statements and the riding and the environment were nice
to watch. Well done Simon and Aaron!

Hi Keith - was it a unicycle or a UW? - hopefully someone at home has recorded it in high quality DVD for me, so I might be able to see that title sequence again and answer my own question.

BTW are you OK for 10th -12th June next year for BMW Part II?
Don’t worry - you didnt miss a great deal - it was a personal view and only a couple of minutes long but if you still want to view it you can do so via the BBC Video Nation Archive.
I’m not Keith and I didn’t record it on DVD. But I noticed that 3rd unicyclist too. This picture taken off the TV screen may not be too clear but it’s definitely a unicycle, not a(n) UW.
