Little House On The Pier Head

I never program my video recorder. Ceefax doesn’t give the Videoplus numbers, and I can never be bothered to set it manually. I don’t record much anyway - generally things I’d miss otherwise from being out - so I usually start it recording manually before I head out; the time display is good enough for me to find the programme later.

This does result in my recording all sorts of bits of TV I don’t intend watching. Occasionally I catch something of interest, as happened last week when I recorded Newsnight Review before a Gram Parsons documentary.

Among the subjects for review was recently opened art festival in Liverpool, Biennial 2004. Lots of contemporary art scattered across the city. I’ll have to see if I can get across if I end up in the North-West for Halloween this year.

I’m enjoying exploring the festival through the semi-unofficial Liverpool Biennial Blog 2004.
