A British Perspective On WITWICS

Given my username, I figured I'd throw this in the ring:

If I'm understanding this right, this writer had previously done an article on Knightmare, and this is his response to all the Americans who commented saying "We didn't have that show when I was a kid...we had Carmen Sandiego!"

Go figure. I should make clear at this point that I myself am completely American.

The guy seems a little obsessed with the fact that the show was made on a budget, but other than that, it's a fun read.  I like how he describes the challenge of the end game.  I REALLY like that he chose to use my YouTube clip to demonstrate it.

Did he ask permission? (Mind, no reason for him to need to, I don't think, but I'm curious.)

Yeah, given the budgets of most UK game shows until WWTBAM came along, I don't think he has much room to complain here...

No, and I'm neither upset not surprised.  I used the word "mine" very liberally.

Oh, no, I totally get that. Merely curious, no more or less.

Strangely, I DID get a permission request from YouTube itself (which I thought was REALLY weird) to use a small piece of the TTTT pilot I uploaded.  They apparently were making a year-end video, and wanted to use a clip of a young Mike Wallace.  I never saw the finished product.
