In this show, we talk to exhibitors Honey Heart who tells us all about the fascinating art of Second Life dressage, and Catbboy Qunhua who talks about his forthcoming machinima, Flying Saucers from Outer Space, a patische of 1950s science fiction movies. We meet David Abbot, who tells us about the Long Walk – an exploration of the regions that make up the SL10b Community Celebrations – with gifts to find.

You can now see our special show to celebrate 200 episodes of Designing Worlds – on the web!

In this special show, we have a look back into our history – rather appropriate in terms of the theme of the Second Life Tenth Birthday Community Celebration – Looking Forward, Looking Back (and you be seeing the Birthday Ceebrations on a show coming shortly!).

World War 1 Poetry Show – one we’ll be looking back to

We’ll be showing clips from shows No.1 – and some very recent shows too! We’ll be showing clips from shows we have loved, or that have made us laugh – we’ll even be explaining just how we pulled off a tricky stunt shot in New Babbage! We even have a very special and beautiful new film to share – based on this year’s Fantasy Faire.

We hope you’ll enjoy seeing it as much as we did putting it together!
