If it happened today, the BBC would wheel in some z-list celebrity and get them to push their latest book ... once they had finished enthusing over the latest BBC TV series, that is.
The very concept of "News" appears to be a negotiable commodity these days.

doing some weekend email/inbox catchup
Noticed doing evansdata surveys it occasionally mentions statckoverflow but not codeproject.
sad really, not enough cp'ers doing surveys? I add codeproject in 'others' where appropriate. Any others doing this?
For those not heard of ed, take a look: Evans Data Dev Net[^]
- real rewards (paypal credit - use anywhere) when you collect enough points.
disclaimer: I don't work for them or any affiliate, was jus vocalising keyboarding a thought.

TBH, I had a quick look, and they don't tell you what you get paid - all I could find was a footnote indicator:
Quote: receive award points for every validated* survey submission
for a footnote that doesn't exist.
It would appear that you can't find out what the rewards are until you register - and registration requires quite a lot of information.
That kinda shouts "SCAM!" at me, much like the "paint houses at home for loads of money" offers do.
Me? I'll pass, thanks.

When a new survey is available they send email indicating the subject and points, typically 2000 - 3000 per survey depending on length. If you join you'll probably find at least 1 recent survey (3000 points) still open.
Sometimes based on the first few questions they may say you're not suitable to continue (i.e. one survey couple months ago they asked about doing IoT, as I answered that I'm doing none, so they wouldn't let me complete - fine - and yes if you're hungry you can lie and say yes....) - and no, they don;t wait till the very end to tell you if you qualify, it'll be in the first few questions.
After doing the survey takes maybe a week or 2 for the points to be credited, but they will come - I've never been let down (they got history so can see surveys pending/credited).
I've done it for bit over a year and once already cashed in 30000 points for a $25 paypal credit - came very soon after the request, already back at 25000 points (20k gets a $15 voucher, but better ratio to get to use 30k for $25).
Nice feel-good reward for 15 minuits every month or so, but mostly you get your vote counted.

It depends upon how off-fin they pod on a good show.

You'll have to quickly take control of the situation.
