    BBC Archive

    Anyone else tried to sign up for the BBC Archive trial?

    Progressed to about 60% of the questions, and the system said 'sorry, feck off, you're not the type we're looking for'!

    I only got as far as 60% too.

    I was doing OK until they asked if I was male or female. I wouldn't have minded so much but I am sure that I got that answer correct

      Basically they are looking for Asian Muslim Females living in Scotland.

      Thats what I put under the name "Singit Ramone".

        Bugger ! As soon as I gave them my email address and ticked 'Male' they said I wasn't suitable.

        Just had a quick sex change and completed the survey. Wasn't worth the effort to be honest.

          Interesting. I just completed the survey on Mrs Gonzo's behalf and lo and behold I could get through to the end.

          Any suggestions of anti-male discrimination anyone?

            Got blow out on male, so I backed up and changed it to female. Next I got blown out on England, so I backed up and chose Scotland. Anyway, I answered all the questions, but all they said is "We'll let you know".

            What are they trying to do? If Males in England want to sign up, well, that is where the demand is!

            It's well past the time when the BBC should be broken up.

              Just tried the same, and had the same result.

              So if I understand correctly they have racial, gender and geography 'quotas' to fill for this trial. And if you're white, English and live in London, you've got no chance.

              **** the BBC, the sooner they are broken up the better.
