If I remember correctly remember correctly the BBC have a dept. called 
something like the 'Community programming Unit based in Bristol that 
specializes in allowing community groups and individuals make there own 
programmes but with professional support.  I have just done a quick web 
search of BBC online but turned up nothing. if people would like to take 
this further it may well be an option.

Discovery home and Leisure also do a Hobbies program which may well lead 
to a pilot for series and lets face it building a Linux box from old Kit 
is a lot cheaper to make than DIY programmes and possibly lead to a 
budding media career for some one. ;-)

It would be really good if people could take this somewhere unfortunately 
I have no spare time at the moment and can barely keep up with my current 
commitments but will follow this thread with interest.

Peace Jim
