Holes zig zag biography channel
You and the Media is a unit of the BBC Schools TV series Zig Zag from the 1980s, covering media for primary school pupils.
Programmes about human communications, framed through media studies. There is an overview of the history of human communications from cave paintings, consideration of calligraphy, how pictures can express meaning without words, and how people can give different accounts of the same events.
The third episode includes a short play called What's It All About? by John Tully and starring Ruth Mayo and Martin Howells, about misunderstanding and only having part of the story.
The fourth episode looks at sound and moving pictures together, with footage of school children attempting to shoot their own videos on location and making elementary mistakes, combined with a look behind the scenes at the making of the Zig Zag programme itself in the studio.
This unit wasn't repeated again after its original outing in 1986. It was originally advertised as 7 episodes, including these 4 plus the following 3 episodes featuring the natural history film Mordicus.
Memorable Moments
The television production material in episode 4 is written (by charismatic producer David Roseveare) with a real passion and interest for 1980s BBC Television techniques, right down to the abbreviations used in camera scripts.
Regular presenters Sheelagh and Paul roam the Zig Zag studio and gallery, talking to the staff and demonstrating the equipment.
“Now this is camera 1 here, operated by David. And you're seeing us through camera 2.

Holes (film)
2003 American film by Andrew Davis
Not to be confused with Hole (film) or The Holes.
Holes is a 2003 American neo-Westerncomedy drama film directed by Andrew Davis and written by Louis Sachar, based on his 1998 novel. The film stars Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Patricia Arquette, Tim Blake Nelson, Eartha Kitt, Khleo Thomas, Dulé Hill, Scott Plank and Shia LaBeouf.
In the film, Stanley Yelnats (LaBeouf) IV is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp in Texas, after being wrongfully convicted of theft. The camp forces inmates to dig holes in a dried lake bed under the command of the cruel Warden Walker (Weaver), who is secretly searching for the buried treasure of outlaw Katherine "Kissin' Kate" Barlow (Arquette).
Director Andrew Davis took on Holes to showcase his versatility beyond action films, enlisting author Louis Sachar to adapt his novel into a screenplay. Filming took place over ten weeks in California during the summer of 2002 on a $20 million budget. Shia LaBeouf was cast as Stanley after Davis sought a "young Tom Hanks," though the character’s weight loss arc from the book was omitted for practicality. Scenes of hole-digging were carefully staged with different depth levels, and bearded dragons portrayed the venomous yellow-spotted lizards. The film, dedicated to actor Scott Plank, who died after filming wrapped, was produced by Chicago Pacific Entertainment and Phoenix Pictures, with distribution by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista.
Holes garnered several awards and nominations. It won the California On Location Awards for Production Company of the Year and Location Professional of the Year. LaBeouf received recognition with a nomination for Breakthrough Performance at the MTV Movie Awards, while the film earned nominations for Best Family Film at the Critics' Choice Awards and Young Artist Awards.
