Can penguins fly? You bet.
- BBC1 is looking for choirs to have on its new ChoirWars program. The point is to find the Nation’s Favourite Choir presumably as voted on by viewers. There something quite lovable about this idea since it’s not a talent competition but rather one of personality. This is perhaps the first program of this sort that makes no bones about its purpose. The Beeb is so keen to have everyone participate that “if you need any help filming your tapes please contact us and we can come and film it for you.” Bless.
- The Guardian brings news of a fascinating new exhibition at the Wellcome Gallery in London. German photographer Walter Schels took portraits of people before and after they died while his partner Beate Lakotta recorded their stories. A sampling of the some of the images is available here. The images are incredibly compelling and deeply moving.
