About videoGaiden
videoGaiden began in 2005 with a run of 6 x 10 minute episodes, the second series following a year later with 6 half hour shows. This third season sees the show switch primarily to the internet, with 18 x 15 minute (approx) episodes, and 3 TV specials.
These will be complimented by the continual release of extra content on our website ( www.bbc.co.uk/videogaiden), as demonstrated in the first instance by the advent calendar. Further content includes exclusive ‘mobisodes’ and audio downloads.
videoGaiden is written and presented by Robert Florence and Ryan Macleod, the brains behind the internet hit, Consolevania.
Robert is a Bafta nominated writer. His latest project, Empty, can currently be seen on BBC2, and starts Billy Boyd and Gregor Fisher.
