Works fine, but the encoding needs a bit of work to look better.
One of the main things is the occasional skipping of a few frames, but that looks like a transmission issue and so out of your control.
But there's a fair bit of combing throughout. To avoid this, tick "Deinterlace" in whatever encoder you're using. There's also a bit of excessive pixelation in places; if you haven't already, I'd suggest running a two-pass VBR encode at minimum. File size is good, but you can eke out a fair bit more quality by resizing the frame to a height of 640 pixels (instead of the full 720 used in transmission and your encode).
On the whole, though, quite a good first attempt, and very watchable.

Yeah, and, umm, please leave the end credits on in future. That and the end of Dara's last sentence would be nice too.

Its only the audio of goodbye that's missing from his last sentence but yer sorry I didn't release it had trimmed it to much, the credits normally have BBC program advertising over them which was why I cut them off but I'll leave them next time.
I'll have a look into using your advise to improve the video encoding tonight, 8 out of 10 cats doesn't appear to be tracked on any public trackers so I'll probably record and encode that. :)
Thanks for the advise :)

Regarding the end credits, the main issue is that BBC caps (and British stuff in general) tend to keep the credits on, as much as they're squeezed into a corner and talked over. So mostly it was a bit of a surprise. :)
I imagine it's because there isn't a commercial break right before them.
Best of luck with your next cap. For a first attempt this one was quite good, so I expect you'll get great results on the second go.
