How did Classic Comedy.net evolve? It has taken two years of research and planning. My father, Michael Bentine, died in 1996 and I took over the administration of his estate. I started looking at different ways of getting iconic programmes he'd produced, from Square World through to Potty Time, on to video or DVD. About 99% of old comedy is in a tin somewhere, and the non-broadcast rights lie with the performers and directors.

How has your BT Broadband partnership helped you? At the moment, we have loads of material built around 56k modem delivery - 10 seconds is about 110K but that's quite a long time in comedy. Broadband allows us to deliver whole five-minute sketches at far better quality. Why stumble around the net on one roller-skate, blindfolded, when you can get on a Kawasaki!

Is the net community reluctant to pay for content? In this country, we used to only pay the BBC for the production of TV programmes because we assumed it was our right to watch ITV for free because of commercial advertising. I think a lot of future internet delivery will come down to paying for data or paying for access. Suppliers such as BT, Microsoft or AOL collect material they then offer to their subscribers.

3G? This is the year when the new technology comes in _ be it the single-image MMS we saw coming late last year, or the audio, video and Flash-delivery that is appearing on video-enabled mobiles. I saw an interesting statistic that 15% of all new mobiles sold in December had video capability - and that's only the first month they were available. 3G is coming online this year and I see no reason why the ability to enjoy anything audio or visual when on the move should not increase dramatically. When mobile phones first came out the size of car batteries, everybody wondered who would want to lug them around!

Gadgets? I'm my father's son so I love anything that goes bang or hurls projectiles - one of my earliest memories is my dad digging potatoes with explosives! That said, I'm gagging for 3G. I looked at a series of GPRS personal digital assistants. I want more from a PDA than an address book and three inches of a spreadsheet: I want to be able to search for and download video clips and look at news.

Broadband's such a godsend as there's no waiting around for information - I remember Windows 3.1! I'm from the days of msconfig and autoexec.bat!
