B3ta attempts 'trad media'

[Papercut]

Looks like B3ta are angling after a TV series, they've released a 'pilot episode' movie torrent:

Seems pointless to me, 90% of the material is taken from old flash animations they've linked to before. A 500KB animation might go viral, but a 50MB quicktime file is not going to, is it?

As a TV show I can only see this appealing to people already B3ta aware. No doubt they would have huge PRS problems too.

They've also released a audio torrent for one of their Resonance FM radio shows:

The 'show' was one of the un-funniest things I've seen in a long time. even worse than an episode of Nighty Night. and that is something. Not a single laugh in the entire 20 mins.

Something also worth noting is that the production company who helped them put it together is So Television, which I think is the same company that makes Graham Norton's shows for channel 4. Or was anyway. If this is the sort of programming they're looking to replace it with, I think I'll have Graham Norton back.

Those last seven words are ones I never thought I'd utter.
