Blog written by Alistair Nunn in order to record his thoughts and observations as he watches all of the productions in the BBC Shakespeare television series (broadcast between 3 December 1978 and 27 April 1985) in the order in which they were transmitted. Nunn wants to see how well the productions have stood the test of time, as well as to see how filming techniques changed over the series seven years’ span and what effect this had - if any - on the acting and directing styles. Nunn’s comments - which are usually extensive - are always interesting, and although often forthright when it comes to productions he does not enjoy, he generally offers a balanced and sensitive analysis.

Website created by Chris Willmott at the University of Leicester as a resource for lecturers and students of bioscience in Higher Education. The main aim of biologyonthebox is to share suggestions for the use of television in teaching Biology. The only constraint is that the programmes suggested must be available in Box of Broadcasts (Bob). The site is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. A helpful list of categories, from Agriculture and Bioethics to Virology and Zoology helps users navigate the resource. Each entry features a url to the programme on BoB along with information about the programme and suggestions on how to use it in teaching.
