Day one's activities

Published Friday, Aug 22 2008, 11:48 BST | By Neil Wilkes | 1 comment
After a veeery early start, but a very effortless flight 'oop north, we've arrived at the Edinburgh TV Festival.

Friday at the Festival is traditionally a reasonably quiet day. The calm before the Saturday storm. Indeed, tomorrow is the most hellish day for journalists, with sessions beginning first thing, running through to the early evening, followed by the Channel of the Year awards and capped with a boozy late night bash at the George. But more moaning about that to come.

Today's festivities begin with a special episode of How To Look Good Naked, fronted by Gok Wan and with various big cheeses as the subjects. I think you'll excuse us for not covering that session in too much detail.

At 1.45pm check in for a live blog of an interview with Danny Cohen (formerly of E4, now head of BBC Three), then at 3.15pm we'll be live blogging the session with Sky One Sky1 chief Richard Woolfe.

Straight afterwards we'll be holding our own interview with Mr Woolfe. If you have any questions, add your comments to this entry and we'll do our best. All being well, through the wonders of modern technology, we should be able to bring you the interview live, in video, in that small player to your right.

Later today we'll also have highlights of Sharon Osbourne's appearance at the Festival and a live blog from the session with E4's Angela Jain and More4's Hamish Mykura. Stick with us!

Will Lost be shown one day after US transmission like Prison Break?
