It's Television: Dissected
TV News, Reviews and Interviews
We?re back baby!! Cutting up them boxes and causing strife.
This week we review what kept us interested televisually over the summer months. Debate rages over the inherent hilarity (or lack thereof) in UK import Peep Show. And we Don’t Buy some ads from the tennis (both long and short form).
Plus all the usual news views and slander you’ve come to know and love.

[Mr Black] couldn’t make it for our third summer edition, unfortunately.
Sorry to get your hopes up.
[Mr Black] had a very busy time towards the end of last year and has promised us that a catch-up in the coming months will make up for it.
I certainly hope so and I’m sure you will too.
Next week our regularly scheduled Boxcutters returns.
And for those who missed out, why don’t you go back and listen to our interview with Pete Smith from last year to tide you over until then.
Lots of love,
Boxcutters

If you’re interested in testing out the new Australian version of TiVo, they’re currently looking for Beta testers. You will get a TiVo box in your home and will have to do some homework that goes along with it but I’m sure it will be an interesting look at how it’s going to work. It will also give you some say in how it works and that’s always worthwhile.
Go here: http://www.tivo.com.au/testtivo/ to sign up.
If you do get onto the Beta testing programme, please keep us informed. Let us know what does and doesn’t work for you and how it compares to other systems you’ve used or have seen.
Alex Papps is in the hot seat for the first of our Summer interviews. With an acting career spanning over 20 years, he lets us know just what it takes to move through the highs and lows of being an actor in this fine country of ours.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alex Papps:
Please, let us know all about your TV Week pin-up collection and your fondness for Humpty and Big Ted.

Welcome to BOXCUTTERS SPECIAL EDITION BRAVO.
For your listening convenience and pleasure this episode has been divided into two parts.
In the first part the three merry men look at the 2007 – the year that was. What rocked, what sucked and everything in-between.
Later some friends drop by the studio for some fun and frivolity, including Marieke Hardy, James Talia and Jess McGuire, while Tom Elliott is kind enough to interrupt his holiday to call in.
Special edition Bravo – more fun than your ears can handle.
