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 BBC iPlayer won in the category Interactive Innovation - Service / Platform against stiff competition from Bebo Open Media Platform, KateModern and Channel 4's Big Art Mob. Three of these satisfyingly heavy gongs were picked up by Anthony Rose, Ian Hunter and Internet Controller Tony Ageh.
Kudos also, in two senses of the word, 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
