" hopefully we can bring something new to the table that inspires reaction, debate, attitude, discussion and enjoyment, without relying heavily on external services we can't control whose revenue comes from advertising. That's the trick for ABC, and the source of much discussion here. All in the interest of keeping audiences happy and informed."

Oh what's he on about then? Reaction? Debate? Enjoyment etc? HYS was all that. Plus they had it with an internal service without the baggage of advertising. What was missing then? Revenue perhaps. Anything else missing? Yeah. The intuition to realize what a gem HYS was for the corporation & the mental capacity to take advantage of it.

But I don't care anymore 'cause as they say in the classics, I'm a bumble-bee*. Mad Men was great tonight wasn't it!

Well that was pretty cool but it wasn't the latte moment I had in mind. Worth one anyway. You'll have to trust me on this one as so far I haven't turned up a video.... Think somewhere around At Last the 1948 Show or it might have been the Frost Report, possibly a Python skit...

Nah... Ronnie Corbett was involved... might have been on the Two Ronnies or one of the earlier shows I mentioned above. Anyway, to cut to the chase as they said on The Bill, the skit was set in an airliner cabin. The Captain came on with the standard briefing that no one listens to; "Good afternoon, thank you for flying etc... we'll be flying at x thousdand feet... weather at the destination is.... keep your seat belts fastened because there is likely to be some mild turbulence ahead but I don't care 'cause I'm a bumble bee."

That kinda got the passengers attention. The skit ended up with the co-pilot chasing the captain around the cabin with a butterfly net. He finally succumbed to a can of insect spray.

Well it was funny at the time... I'm off to buy a latte.
