Today’s great coverage of shedworking on the BBC breakfast show showed that sheds are sometimes taken seriously in the mainstream media.

But it was their use of social media to get the information together from their viewers via their facebook, twitter and flickr pages that impressed me, but having the televisual platform to pop the link on screen to the sites is useful and must grab the viewers and a great way of creating a two way conversation between the comfy sofa in the studio and the sofa at home.

anyway here are some of the great sheds they featured

Alex shedworking gnu and Shed of the year judge will be on BBC breakfast tomorrow…

The nice folk at  BBC Breakfast will be talking about the Shedworking book, garden offices and sheds in general at 6.50am, 7.50am and indeed 8.50am tomorrow (Wednesday). They’re also inviting viewers to submit their own sheds to their Flickr group, a selection of which I’m assuming will make it to the screen, and they’re using the Twitter hash tag of #myshed from now onwards. This will be a great buildup to the actual National Shed Week which starts on July 5

I have added the Category winners to the BBC group so hopefully they will get on the Telly

and Sheddie Tim of The TARDIS shed will be on GM.TV news
Granada reports and doing interview and weather live from Tims Tardis on teatime news.

Today Iam in that London and I will be doing a day of radio interviews with the sponsors “Cuprinol sprayable” talking about shedweek, the sheddies and of course the wonderful sheds that you lot have shared for Shed of the year.

A lot of the radio stuff will be pre-recorded but there will be some live stuff as well – follow me on twitter and I will publish any info as I have it,s o you can listen in your region (if you want to that is)

So if you are near a radio (!) and want to hear a Welsh man trip over his words.

Hopefully I will be finished by 4pm on Friday so if any sheddies near Paddington station about 6pm and up for a pint from the head sheddie at the Mad Bishop and Bear, then contact me via that twitter.

Sheddies Can you help?

My Name is Kate Owen and I am Documentary Film and TV student at the University of Wales, Newport.

I am pitching a programme idea to a panel of BBC producers, with the hope of it being commissioned.

My idea is ‘mans love of the shed’ and I am looking for people willing to open up their sheds and take part.

At the moment I will shooting a very short taster video which just needs to show an essence of the programme so I won’t need to take up much of your time.

I am really taken with some of your sheds and stories and I believe this can be a really interesting film.

Please let me know asap if you want to be involved, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks, Kate

> Please leave a comment for Kate if you are interested and I will pass them on or email her here
