Sunday Life Studio


This was an internal shot of the mill set being used by True North for the BBC programme Sunday Life. The show starts on Sunday April 20th at 10.00am on BBC 1.

Quba have been working with True North since the project was first pitched to the BBC under the working title ‘Life from the LOFT’ back in early 2007.

Quba are providing the digital elements for the show by creating the website www.bbc.co.uk/sundaylife that is current being developed in time for the programme launch.

I would hope that the set will be finished by that point, or it could turn into one of those awful make over shows :-)

While the videos are coming from an assortment of video social sites all aggregated by us through VodPod. I sure you could spend more time configuring your blogging pages than actually writing anything of substance.
