feeling listless

TV Off The Telly is five years old already. I can't admit to being with them all that time, but I'm pleased that I discovered them some time in 2001. Unlike certain other sites which throw pages and pages of content on-line with questionable results in terms of quality, OTT has happily published its three articles a month and sporadic reviews and it's a strategy which consistently works and in some cases leaves other print publications standing. For example this month they're carrying an interview with Patrick Dowling and Ian Oliver the creators of The Adventure Game, a retrospective look at an older piece which speculated as to what the schedules of the five main channels might look like by now, and another installment of their long term discovery of what makes Saturday night's tick. Each of them provide the same scholarly yet informative style which we've come to expect and hope will continue for another five years.
