New BBC2 trailer
7December 27, 2012 by James Calbraith
For Christmas, BBC2 unveiled their new trailer. It’s got Peter Capaldi on voiceover. They’re really exploiting the guy this year 
Much have I travelled in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen,
But still I long to learn tales, marvellous tales,
Of ships and stars and isles where good men rest,
How others fought to forge my world.
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What wild ecstasy?
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Step forward,
To feel the blood run through the veins and tingle
Where busy thought and blind sensation mingle.
Come, my friends, ‘tis not too late,
For we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems;
To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.

Wonderful words and pictures – very inspiring. Well done indeed.
This is just beautiful. Love the imagery and the poetry. Do you know who wrote this?
It’s combined from lines of several poems – you can find the full list here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00vztlb/profiles/cento
Well, poor old BBC has had some controversy this year. I think they decided to pull out all the stops to remind us that they are worth hanging on to, and worth watching. And they are.
