Comments on: Televising the House of Commons – and Lords http://lordsoftheblog.net/2009/11/21/televising-the-house-of-commons-and-lords/ Life and Work in the House of Lords Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:38:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gareth Howell http://lordsoftheblog.net/2009/11/21/televising-the-house-of-commons-and-lords/comment-page-1/#comment-6733 Gareth Howell Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:49:32 +0000 http://lordsoftheblog.net/?p=3985#comment-6733 http://www.parliamentlive.tv/ I watched most of the foreign affairs debate on this channel and only got cut off once. It then continued only losing the few words that had been cut by the loss of phone line contact. Vastly preferable to watching in front of my Sitting room TV, but at my desk. Parliament Channel (Sky)is increasingly being taken over by other interests, highly prejudiced BBC reports, being one. It can be useful to see a back edition from time to time. http://www.parliamentlive.tv/

It is a shame more use is not made of some of the material by the main channels.

Whether or not following some of us who contribute to the blog is a good idea is for others to determine!

I can remember when it happened. Now I do feel old! I'm still waiting for a fly-on-the-wall documentary about the work of the Lords, hopefully following one or more peers from this blog!
