“I don’t evolve, I revolve…”
December 5th, 2007Posted by Laura Oliver in Online Journalism
The BBC’s internet blog yesterday republished an article from its in house magazine Ariel: Revolution Not Evolution: The Birth of bbc.co.uk.
The title instantly reminded me of this scene from the BBC’s own comedy show I’m Alan Partridge, where Alan meets the BBC’s chief commission – it’s about two minutes in (watch out for the language).

Since 2005 when Dr. Telly Blythe, The Science Museum, London, wrote asking for my documentation on the BBC Networking Club for Museum Computer Collections, I have been attempting to get the name of the engineer who
registered the http://www.bbc.co.uk domain. With the BBC Internet Blog republication, I now know that he is Brandon Butterworth, principal technologist at Kingswood Warren. How do I get a paper copy of the original publication in Ariel. Does one have to be on BBC staff to be a subscriber?

Hi Avon,
You’re right – Ariel is an in-house publication as far as I’m aware.
But you could try contacting them directly for a copy of the piece. The editor is Andrew Harvey and can be written to at the following address: You can write to the editor Andrew Harvey at:
