Embarrassing Bodies

Had a rather good day at work! 100,000 people used the videos commissioned for my latest project, Embarrassing Bodies, in the first two hours after broadcast of the kick-off show last night. That bodes well for a lot of self-checking and preventive health activity. One Self-Check Video was viewed 24,000 times in those two hours. And there were well over half a million pageviews in the first 12 hours. NHS eat your heart out… (or more productively and with less risk of MRSA, work with Channel 4 to get this kind of thing across effectively.)

Another C4 speciality is scheduling. Tonight’s a classic:
21:00 Embarrassing Bodies
22:00 Michael Barrymore - What Really Happened? (Honest, Officer, I’ve no idea how that embarrassing body got there…)

    Birmingham Post - Business, 13/5/08, N. Lockey:

    “What Embarrassing Bodies represented for me, therefore, is the holy grail of multiplatform programming: a TV and online package that proved to be far greater than the sum of its parts.”
