A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
The K-Factor: So You Think You Can Knit? was a fictional TV show ran by Harry Hill, as a segment of Harry Hill's TV Burp. The first episode was aired on 6 February 2010, with a preview of the show being airing on 30 January. The judges are Knitted Simon Cowell, Knitted Cheryl Coles, Knitted Rolando Villazón and the Knitted Character. Each episode lasts approximately five minutes and the viewers can then log onto the official TV Burp website to vote for their favourite. Also available on the site is The K Factor: Unravelled, where Knitted Holly Willoughby will talk to either the contestants or the judges, much like The Xtra Factor. Peter the Duck became the winner of the series. All 7 5-minute mini-episodes plus the Unravelled episodes have been merged into a one-hour compilation episode for TV Burp Gold 3 DVD.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
