The iPM team
Eddie In his first job in radio, Eddie Mair once had to dress up as a giant panda. It's been downhill since then, really.
Rupert is currently making up his mind whether to spend money on an old Italian sports car or get another cat. Unlike other members of the team, he does own a television.
Marc is the number two on the iPM team, a position he has risen to without trace or indeed explanation. When not working at the BBC, Marc likes Bulgarian poetry, whittling wood, restoring sheds and making up random nonsense about himself.
Chris (aka Mr Blog): Chris’s first radio job was with WGN in Chicago. If you've ever watched Frasier, I was like Ros but without the exciting love life. We don't have a TV but we have more books than bricks in the flat. I own too many microphones..
George also lacks a TV, and it’s rumoured an iron, but has a rich internal life involving ukeleles, tinkering with things and talking about himself in the third person.
Jenny is the iPM web queen and travels far and wide online in search of stories. She grew up by the sea. She owns lots of red shoes. She has 1 TV and 4 radios, enough said.
Peter sits in meetings all day.

I was once interviewed by a giant rabbit. It was a great laugh.
Does Rupert have his eye on an incredibly expensive cat?
Rupert, treat yourself, do both. But don't run the cat over with the car. Or, indeed, vice versa.
Love the pictures, but the credit doesn't seem to make any sense..... And I recognise the style of this artist - Didn't s/he do a series about somebody called Poppy (or similar)?
Hang on a mo, have all the photos suddenly jumped from one side of the post to the other?!?!?
who did the caricatures on the site, and can i have one please?
Man, 73 yrs, makes a short video clip about his late wife (accompanied by one of her songs) and puts it onto U-Tube. It turns out his new partner wrote a book about her. Ahhh! How sweet is that?

does this new show mean eddie will no longer be presenting the normal p.m.? this is a tradgedy if so. perhaps we could start a campaign to put him on both and work him like the dog he is?
I heard today from a senior member of an international property firm that 60% of Manchester City Centre flats are currently un-occupied.
How can the property market sustain this? Flats are still being built in the centre. Is the money invested all on borrowed time...?
BBC is presently running The Tudors. The introduction suggests that it is historically accurate. - " you think you know a story ...". Henry's 2 sisters have been conflated into 1 - Margaret (historically married Scotland) who has been married to the elderly king of Portugal on condition that she could chose her next husband, Brandon. This was actually Mary except it was the elderly king of France she married before Brandon. Where will Mary Queen of Scots come from?
Many people with a poor grasp of history will assume it is accurate especially because it is BBC. Doesn't this devalue the reputation of BBC?

Dear PM prog
Please ask MP's who are being interviewed about the recent Labour Donations article, and who are usually critical, why they suppressed the "Freedom of Information" regarding MP's. This allowed MP's to hide facts about their housing allowances and other expences perks.
Jack Straw as Leader of the House was a prime mover in getting this restricton past in the House of Commons.
This makes a contrast to the protestations of MP's of all parties who claim to want openess in party funding.
Thank you#D Reay
I cant find any map to view on google - the link reveals only gobbledygook. As usual there is no easily available display - why did I bother sending my postcode in. Couldn't you give us a top ten of the most used postcode areas and the least? At the moment I find nothing to look at.
