Pic Of The Day: iPlayer Bafta
Forgive the self-backslap.
The building is today dotted with the masks awarded by Bafta, which have an appealing glint in the May sunshine. As you may have already heard, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ iPlayer won in the category Interactive Innovation - Service / Platform against stiff competition from , and Channel 4's . Three of these satisfyingly heavy gongs were picked up by Anthony Rose, Ian Hunter and Internet Controller Tony Ageh.
Kudos also, in , to Spooks, winner of Interactive Innovation - Content.

I'd like to see some kind of chart that shows the monthly download figures (number of programs, gigabytes, users, favourite programs and # downloads, etc). It would be great to see the rate of growth of iPlayer over the last 11 months (and beyond).
Do you have plans to put these up on a website somewhere? (Maybe even this blog?)
Thanks and best wishes
