We did a great job on this IWF thing. I did well on radio and TV (if I
say so myself) and the WMF spoke softly and pointed out a fascinating
assortment of big sticks in the background, and the IWF blinked.

I'd like to say, though, I need more backup in the UK ... people who
can go on telly at a few hours' notice, specifically.
This is very little-needed - the last round of telly was Jan 2007 over
the Microsoft OOXML thing - but when we need it, we *need* it. Missing
Sky News was not good.
Press, between Alison and I we coped OK. Radio, OKish. I missed doing
BBC 5 Live. More reliable contacts there would be nice.
But we need people in London who are confident they can represent
Wikipedia/Wikimedia and talk in soundbites on telly at a few hours'
notice. Anyone?
I would be happy to do radio stuff, but would need to be persuaded
about telly things.

Radio interviews are done over the phone, or in a studio, or a radio
car. I assume that people in Cambridge (for example) could get into
the Cambridge studio (BBC)?
