members, calling themselves The

Frontline Scotland: BBC Scotland BBC One 1x29 OFP Malawi is a poor country. The
The Malawi Millions (Scotland) Scottish Executive kindly offered it’s
people £3m a year. But much of the
money has been fed into the wrong
places. This program investigates
the taxpayers money that’s being
wasted by needless bureaucracy
and so-called ‘fact-finding’ missions
by Scottish Ministers. The program
was denounced by Jack McConnell
himself, saying that the program-
makers ‘should be ashamed
of themselves’.
Sleeper Cell Nobles Gate Channel Four 10x84 of Channel Four had bought this nicely-
produced 20-part drama about a
terrorist plot, but they rightly reckoned
it could be trimmed to make it
punchier, so DigitalBuddy was tasked
with cutting it down. Each episode had
to be reduced by 35%, which proved
challenging, when you consider that
there were long narrative threads,
that often spanned many episodes.
A satisfying end-result though, and a
nice piece of drama.
Night Cops w Renegade Sky One 1x48 CD Filming cop-docs isn’t easy; you’re
doing the job of Director, Cameraman,

Assistant. And if you’re not thorough,
it’ll cause serious problems further
down the production line. You’ve
got to be precise in your note-taking
of who and what you’ve filmed. See
