Anthony Pigott Posted 4 November , 2008 Share Posted 4 November , 2008 A suggestion for the Admin Team: There are quite a lot of topics on films and TV programs which usually are put in Chit-Chat along with other miscellaneous topics. Why not create a new forum alongside "Book reviews" under "Documents, photos, art" ? Best wishes and keep up the good work! Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony I think that this is a good idea, at the moment there seems to be a lot on the TV and Radio, I would to hate to miss anything.

BIFFO Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 wouldnt it be a good idea if gwf had a topic headed ww1 related tv/radio progs,this would enable gwf members to get heads up on forth coming progs, without looking and sometimes missing things or is it just me then biff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Pigott Posted 5 November , 2008 Author Share Posted 5 November , 2008 I suppose it should include radio and non-broadcast video? Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 At present, please post such notices in the 90th Anniversary section, with a date in the topic title. Personally, I am loathe to put more sections on the front page unless absulutely necessary, as it looks busy enough already. The 90th anniversary section will become redundant soon, and then we could perhaps convert it into a noticeboard for TV, radio, exhibitions, plays etc etc We are always happy to entertain ideas to improve the GWF.

DavidMillichope Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 I must add my support to this idea. I found it curious that the forum doesn't have its own section on this type of media, given the powerful influence on the collective memory of (for example) "Oh What a Lovely war" and "Blackadder" . Even inclusion in the books section seems a natural repository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geoff501 Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 I would like to see front page announcements to TV/Radio topics. Often these are posted at very short notice. Not being a 'TV' person I tend to miss a lot. Only found out about the Kelly program by lurking in Live Chat last night 30 mins before it started. 'Classified' takes up far too much space. Bring back discreet ads in sigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regulus 1 Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 We have such a section on our Dutch WW I forum with some 260 topics, it's quite a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJames Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 Would it be possible to make it a general What's On section so that it could also include other events apart from just tv and radio, eg whats going on at the Surrey History Centre atm which was mentioned in passing in the book reviews section. There used to be an info bar at the bottom of the page but it seems to have disappeared. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken about not wanting too many fora but I was thinking about non-print media generally, not just current broadcasts.

thancock Posted 6 November , 2008 Share Posted 6 November , 2008 We have such a section on our Dutch WW I forum with some 260 topics, it's quite a success. Yes, we put one on the WFA Front Forum thanks to a member's suggestion and it has proved very popular too. We include YouTube vids streamed over. There's a lot of good stuff on YT, too, but you have to watch out for copyrighted material. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clay Posted 6 November , 2008 Share Posted 6 November , 2008 seems to be drifting into I know lets form a committee,its a straight forward question yes or no Huh? Kate has given an answer - she has also suggested that further consideration might be given. But it'll be a decision for the GWF Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAE Posted 8 November , 2008 Share Posted 8 November , 2008 I would have thought that with so many GWF members involved in these events, then this idea is a must. Threads seem to be appearing all over the place. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 21 November , 2008 Share Posted 21 November , 2008 I have re-assigned the War Art forum, and expanded its remit. It is now called The Culture Pages. What I have in mind is for this to be the GWF's equivalent of the Sunday newspaper arts supplements, so this will be the place to discuss TV and Radio programmes, and music, art, poetry, novels, films, plays, tapestries etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunboat Posted 21 November , 2008 Share Posted 21 November , 2008 In that case shouldn't " Book Reviews" be moved there as well? (hides under desk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1052 Posted 21 November , 2008 Share Posted 21 November , 2008 I have re-assigned the War Art forum, and expanded its remit. It is now called The Culture Pages. Good job and a nice touch. In the description below the new title, for editorial consistency please make the letter "R" in "Radio" lower case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
