The new film by Hugh Miles has been refused a screening by the BBC, can you believe that?, I can't.
www.catchingtheimpossible.info

They were quite willing to show A Passion for Angling", which was a masterpiece, and knowing Hugh's fantastic skills with the camera, I know "Catching the impossible" will be another classic.
So, I got up an online petition, and am looking out for other ways to publicise, and hopefully, get it shown.
It's my/our license fee after all.

The petition:

Sign it, you know it makes sense!

Cheers

I started this as a response to a thread on the "other board" -by "Avon Calling" lots of ppl on there were talking about a petition, but that's all it was - talk.
It needs email to the BBC, the Press, everywhere. - or (heaven forbid) snail mail...personal, written letters are less easy to ignore.
ITV have taken instead a fishing program hosted by Robson Green (!)- that well known angler

, what is the world coming to?

Jez,

No clue m8, I need to get writing letters to the beeb...raising awareness etc etc.

Perhaps a PM to Hugh Miles would get an answer?, yeah right, I'm sure he reads this forum

BTW I met him once on the Royalty, I think it was the second time I'd fished it - I blanked.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complaints_stage1.shtml - may work, I've just tried it...

cut and paste this into your browser. In this thread, as one of the replies, is one of mine, and in that is the reference to the online petition *I* put on bfw (no-one else has, yet)

Hi All

I've signed it - fair play to Simon for getting proactive (and for that rather tasty double).

I have been fortunate enough to see one of the episodes, and some of the underwater footage is unbelievable.

Best wishes

I have added my name Simon, we are now up to 10.

My added comments were -------" There is a huge audience that would like to see this series by one of our greatest cameramen. Use our licence fee wisely and stop catering for the brain dead with dumbed down programs.

As you can tell I have received my licence demand this very day

,----Best wishes,----John.

PS., I have also emailed this post and link to many of my fishing contacts, another way to spread the word.

Fact Finder General

Simon have you found out why the BBC is refusing to put out on air yet? Does seem strange after the success of Passion for Angling. I can only think that it must come down to cost and a failure to agree away forward. I suppose at least it's coming out on DVD!!
