The best thing about The OC, no wait. The second best thing about The OC is the music, and I think someone in the BBC music department is also a bit of fan. Three or four times in the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed BBC trailers or programme segments that have been put to music that has recently been on the OC (Rock Kills Kid, Sia, Sun Kil Moon and Imogen Heap). They did it twice during the FA Cup games at the weekend.

It could be that they just share similar taste, but it seems a little bit suspicious to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with copying them as that’s pretty much what I have on my iPod at the moment too.

• I think I’ve found the connection. Clearly, it’s Roo.

  You watch the OC. Roo knows you. Roo talks to BBC about Web 2.0. BBC people play OC music on their programme trailers.

  Obvious, when you know how to join the dots.

• Interesting, I like your train of thought Andy. All you need to do now Darren is go to the OC and try and find some BBC people, you better book yourself a trip
