which is all about how people in Britain spend their leisure
time and how that's changing. The rise of computer gaming and
online entertainments of all sorts is obviously a big part of
that story. I'm looking forward to filming at the ESWC heats
because it'll be a great opportunity to meet and talk to
people who are really at the cutting edge of this new leisure
landscape. I'm hoping to give viewers a sense of some of the
new possibilities which are opening up for how we might be
spending our spare time in the future.'

further commitment clearly demonstrates the progression that
electronic sports is making in the main stream media and in
