It’s been ages since I’ve written anything, but, as you can imagine, George is keeping my hands full. I am on Twitter if you want to keep up with the minutiae of my life. If not, here’s George.

Electric Dreams starts on the 29th of September, 9pm on BBC4.
Here are a few photos I took during filming…
My desk (click for larger pics) with Star Wars, Mr T, Scully, Beetlejuice, Pee-Wee Herman figures, a PacMan table top game, a Little Professor and a guy made out of Lego by my son:

One of my shelves with various annuals and retro tech books:

Another shelf with a PacMan boardgame and Microserfs by Douglas Coupland:

My favourite bit of filming so far was at CERN where I interviewed Robert Cailliau about the development of the World Wide Web.
Tim Berners-Lee’s original proposal for what would become the World Wide Web:

Brian’s in the middle of filming a big new series for the BBC. I decided to do this post now to gather up the info, images and video that are trickling out on the web.
First, Brian is Twittering from everywhere he films.
He’s also taking loads of photographs. Here are just a few.

I’m getting very tired, finding it more difficult to move and am looking forward to the day when I once again have abominal muscles I can actually use. :) This morning I was trapped on the sofa as I was leaning back a bit and our cat, Rocky, decided to sit on my chest. I was stuck until my son rescued me by removing the cat. Can’t wait to be able to sit up properly again.
We’re all getting very excited to meet the new little guy.

I’ve not been blogging much lately as my life has gone crazy. Along with being pregnant, I’ve sold my house, am looking for a new place to rent (I have to move out by middle of Feb. gulp) and I’ve been filming a new tv programme for BBC4. Along with all of that, I’m still helping Jonathan Ross out with his website.
The tv programme I’ve been doing has been pretty fun to do. It’s by the same people who did 1900 House and 1940s House, but this time it’s effectively 1970s/80s/90s House. The working title of the programme is Electric Dreams and will be on BBC4 this spring sometime, perhaps April.
