Media Talk: 'Project Kangaroo'

This week as big broadcasters get together to co-market broadband video services (codename: Project Kangaroo), we pay tribute to Verity Lambert, pioneering BBC producer of Doctor Who and discuss how far sex equality in TV still needs to go.

Also, Observer reporter David Smith on being dragged over the coals by the US military during his embed in Iraq with them, and we have a trio of panellists: Emily Bell, the Guardian's director of digital content, media commentator Steve Hewlett and MediaGuardian.co.uk's Stephen Brook. Plus, special guest host, Robert Freeman, head of video at Guardian Unlimited.

Richard Ayers of independent producer Magic Lantern tells us whether the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have already missed their opportunity re Project Kangaroo.

The Radio Academy and Gaydar Radio are offering a £4,000 bursary to a talented radio technology innovator - find out more from the station's programme director Robin Crowley.

PACT member Mike Watts explained why his association has launched an e-petition on Downing street's website to 'save' the children's TV industry. We find out what our panel and their children like to watch.
