The Guardian has picked up on the woes of the BBC's DMI project - an attempt to create a huge-but- instantly-accessible archive of tv output, known sadly inside the organisation as Don't Mention It.
The current forecast budget is a tad over £133m, but the system is by no means complete, and what does work is disliked by some vocal users. BBC Sport went out to tender for their own digital archive system in February, with an estimate of £250-500k, and a promise that their system would work happily alongside and with DMI. If Sport is right, the BBC could have bought 266 similar systems for the DMI budget - more than enough for one per film researcher.
