The Virtual Revolution*

The Virtual RevolutionTwenty years on from the invention of the world wide web a major new 91Èȱ¬ Two series takes stock of its profound impact - how, for better and for worse, the digital revolution is reshaping our lives.

As part of this initiative, for the first time ever raw uncut video from a 91Èȱ¬ documentary was made available online to download allowing users to create their own content and comment based on the original material.

Now, following each episode, the winners of this Virtual Revolution short film competition will be shown on 91Èȱ¬ Red Button.

The Danny Baker Show on 91Èȱ¬ Radio 5 live

Danny BakerWhen 91Èȱ¬ Red Button brought its cameras into the 91Èȱ¬ Radio 5 live studios to give viewers a glimpse behind the scenes of the 606 football phone-in show last year, Danny Baker and Tim Lovejoy were among the presenters. Now Danny's back with his Saturday morning show for the 2009/2010 football season and the cameras are continuing to roll!

As well as seeing the man himself (possibly wearing his favourite pirate hat), digital viewers pressing the red button can send in texts and pictures to be shown on screen.
These will be accompanied by all the great content you might expect from 5 live: the weekend's football tables, fixture lists, upcoming commentaries, sports news and details of upcoming Red Button content. Plus, look out for some rather more unexpected content: spoof fixtures and unique animations as Danny sets up audience head-to-heads on the phone.

Brett Spencer, Interactive Editor at 5 live, discusses the visualisation in more depth on the station's blog.

CBeebies Red Button

New CBeebies91Èȱ¬ Red Button welcomes younger viewers and grown-ups with a sense of adventure to a big, bright and fun new world. The CBeebies interactive service has relaunched!
Now your children's favourite characters are at the heart of the interactive TV experience. A big, new and bright carousel now greets visitors providing easy access to games, other children's interactive services such as karaoke or quizzes, birthdays and star of the week messages.

Different Games
Reflecting the popularity of games for the young audience, a new range of activities has been specially created. The updated service brings with it brand new games for some of the most popular shows on CBeebies, including In The Night Garden and The Green Balloon Club. These new games replace the old ones, which had become increasingly outdated.

Satellite and digital terrestrial viewers will have slightly different offerings from one another. This has enabled us to offer the best games tailored to each system.

91Èȱ¬ Children's producer Damian Vicary discusses the service on the Press Red blog.

CBeebies Red Button is available now on the CBeebies channel, and via page 5900 on other channels.
