MIP

SO after a break of 2 years I found myself at MIP once again. Great to catch up with everyone and comforting to know that the industry hasn't changed! The sevice at Cafe Roma was as idiosyncratic as ever, I even witnessed a near physical fight! And the Sony Monday night gathering was a delight and very sad as we said goodbye to Paul Gilbert, who I'm sure will be back with a new expense account on a different company at MIPCOM!

I didn't see any thing that really set my interest alight. Game shows are definitely back on every broadcasters lips. Scripted Drama seemed to be doing very well.

The Game shows were big and brash, the reality was more observational. There was no single buzz. There was a lot of talk about the over valued UK indie market some even valued at over 12 times earnings. But there still seemed to be some potential takers.

Some interesting developments in training, some I'm involved with and more news on that later.
