Remember the plans to re-launch this website as
The British Comedy Guide? Believe it or not it is actually still going to happen! There's currently a lot of work going on behind-the-scenes to get it ready to (finally) launch this summer.
I'd like to thank all the contributors who have been using our system to input data over the last month - there's some really fantastic and in-depth guides going into the database at the moment. Cheers for all the time and effort you've put into them!
(If you want to contribute but are not sure what's going on do PM or email me!)
We've now reached a position in the development where I can reveal our intended new guide design... take a look here:
http://www.comedy.org.uk/guide/tv/teenage_kicks/
As you can see, it doesn't look that different from the current BSG design... but hopefully you'll agree it is neater and also does a better job of allowing us to cover a comedy in some depth.
At the moment it's only the Teenage Kicks pages which can be seen - all the other links will return you to the BSG. Also please bear in mind this is just a slimmed-down version of the final programme guides - when the new website launches there will also be other features like actor profiles and a system which allows you to add your own review of the comedy (these extras are hidden away at the moment as we're not ready for people to begin to use them yet)
Please let us know your thoughts on this draft... I'm especially interested to hear of anything you don't like or details on anything that isn't working in your browser (currently one known issue: slightly fatter-than-it-should-be menu bar in IE6)
When I'm satisfied that everyone is generally happy with the design and that it works on everyone's PCs we will permanently switch our Teenage Kicks guide over to this new design. Our guides to other new comedies (e.g. shows like Benidorm, Pulling, Gavin and Stacey and My Family) will then shortly follow this.
It'll still be a few months before the rest of the website is ready to launch (with all the other guides it contains) but at least this way our coverage of new comedies can benefit from the improvements straight away.
