    Cosmic Shambles creates and curates entertaining content about the universe through science, art, history, philosophy, music, literature and comedy. The site was borne out of The Incomplete Map of Cosmic Genome, Utter Shambles and Book Shambles online magazines. A selection of the content from them is now available for free via Cosmic Shambles, but to access the entire back catalogue, which includes over 160 films, exclusive interviews and contributions from 150 well-known names in science, a paid subscription is needed. The free content in the Cosmic Shambles site is presented in the form of podcasts, documentaries, interviews and several blogs. The range of subjects covered is impressive. For example, neuroscientist Dr Dean Burnett explains differences in taste (why some of us love jazz and other hate it?); the life and work of physicist Richard Feynman is celebrated in the documentary All Genius, All Buffoon: 100 Years of Richard Feynman; there is also an in-depth interview with plastic surgeon Fiona Wood who invented the ‘spray on skin’ for burns victims.

    A celebration of all things British television from Greg Bakun, an American collector of British television programmes. The website started as a blog where Bakun would write about a randomly selected programme from his own archive. The site has now evolved and offers a series of podcasts on the same subject but with an emphasis on television preservation, restoration and missing material. Episodes so far include an interview with Chris Perry, CEO of Kaleidoscope, a celebration of Tony Hancock, which presents rare audio recording clips from his shows, and an interview with Sue Malden, the first ever BBC Archive selector. Although not easy to find, the site also includes reviews of DVDs.

    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.

    Clovis Salmon - aka Sam the Wheels - is a first generation Jamaican migrant who arrived in the UK in the 1950s. Between the 1960s and the 1980s Salmon filmed the everyday life of the Caribbean community in Brixton, making him one of the first black documentary filmmakers in Britain. This site is a participatory arts project featuring digitised footage from Salmon’s personal archives as well as numerous video interviews with Brixtonians, including gay rights activists, anarchist squatters, rectors, artists, Rastafarians and dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. The site appears not to have been maintained for some time but most of the videos are still playing out.
