April 15, 2006: Githead on BBC 3!!

Githead's They Are features in episode 5, from series 2, of BBC 3's Flagship comedy series IDEAL. The dark comedy about a luckless drug dealer played by Johnny Vegas is written by Graham Duff (also currently famed for Radio 4's Nebulous) a long time music fan who in a previous existence was the "late night cool tunes dude" on Brighton's now defunct Surf FM.

The episode can be viewed (along side the rest of the series, including the yet to be screened episode 6) from the BBC 3 website. It is compulsive viewing and is highly recommended.

March 19, 2006: Githead on Radio 4!!

Githead have made their debut on Britain's highbrow radio station Radio 4 as part of a documentary on the Lomo camera (responsible for so many of the classic Gihead promo shots, including the one on this page!). The documentary is entitled Shoot from the Hip...The World's Coolest Camera and features Malka speaking about her lomo obsession (under her "Lomo" name of Maya_Newman) soundtracked by My LCA (of course!) The program is streamable from the BBC website for the next week and an extended version is being readied for World Service broadcast.
