Web content’s darkplace

When I die You Tube will owe me a large part of my life back and whilst sipping Martini’s in Hell, I’ll ponder just how close Jeremy Beadle and You Tube are and whether one is the demonic spawn of the other. It’s Friday so there’s wit and meaning in this clip from Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

Media content silos should open their vaults and let the content run amok on You Tube and if the lawyers disagree just get the work experience ladyboy to stick a dv cam in front of the boxed set and put it on You Tube anyway, because everyone else is. By releasing it officially you’d control the quality and build brand awareness and promote DVD sales.

Can anyone tell where all the online video guides are? Not the community stuff, but an independent editorial voice? Isn’t it time we re-invented the TV Guide?
