Hamish Barjonas

Hamish’s career started in the radio industry, where he managed the technical rollout of several Digital Radio multiplexes.  He was responsible for creating systems to handle text messages, ‘now playing’ and schedule information for some of the UK’s biggest radio stations.  The systems encompassed the broadcast of scrolling text on Digital and FM radio and Electronic Programme guides on Sky Digital.

Since making the move into television Hamish has developed systems for a wide variety of new shows. Recently he created ‘SAM’, the computer system for ITV1’s Who Dares Sings which judges contestants’ performances for a chance to win £5000.

Show Designer

Hamish created a system for Nolan Live, the highest rated TV show in Northern Ireland. It allows for simple and speedy ingress, grading and broadcasting of viewer input via telephone, email or text message.  Through integration with a computerised telephone system, the host can use phones like a radio show, with the graphics keeping pace automatically.

In 2006, Hamish did the games programming for Codex, Channel 4’s history game, filmed in the British Museum. Contestants play 6 different games in every show, culminating in a final round played with a giant projection on the reading room wall.

In 2004 Hamish developed SendTo:Air for the BBC1’s Johnny and Denise: Passport to Paradise. This allowed the show to be the first in the world to show viewers’ picture messages live on air just minutes after they’d been sent.  Within the space of a few minutes, pictures had been requested, sent, received, graded, stacked and broadcast.
