Can you please tell me what the name of the music played for the Titanic video? The camera work and the music (building aside - I still have to visit) was truly upsetting.

Music by Stravinsky (Les Noces), camera work on that one by Olly, editing by me. To help you recover, here's the Royal Ballet version with the original Ninjinska choreography which my husband maintains is the greatest work of art of the twentieth century ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi-5mugSiX4

It is a shame you cannot unsee things. From the lazy negligence, to the disillusioned ego it's all there. Great fun but what missed opportunities.

Just as I thought: Piers Gough's horrible abortion at Wembley has quietly disappeared from the list of candidates. And there's another one just the same, going up beside it.

So how was the shortlist whittled down to just these? It would be nice to know that the process is transparent (which at the moment it isn't).

@ Ellis, thanks for the link, have added it to my playlist so look forward to watching it. Keep up the great work. I wonder what the chances are of a double for Belfast? - The Titanic Centre wins the Carbuncle Cup the same year O'Donnell Tuomey finally get the recognition they deserve and get the Stirling Prize for the Lyric Theatre?

Was the award for the building or the music?
