BIGDOG TV coming soon!

Everyone knows that video killed the radio star but it seems to have worked out just fine for everything else! We're completely aware that you'd rather watch a short clip than read an essay, so what better way to do it than by launching our own channel?


That's right! BIGDOG TV is coming to a screen near you very soon! With BD:TV, you'll be able to keep up with all the freshest content from around the web, including funny virals, helpful careers tutorials, stupid clips, music videos, movie trailers and tons of other cool stuff! 

Check out What We're Watching and share just what inspires us, what makes us dance or what's tickling our ribs on that particular day. Plus, you'll be able to do it all from the comfort of our site!

For a sneak preview of BD:TV, check out our official YouTube channel and get a taste of what's to come! 

What? You didn't think it was a TV channel, did you?

Christmas is coming fast

Welcome to the BIGDOG blog!

You may have heard or seen us talk about Movember, the facial hair-based charity whose goal it is to raise awareness about prostate cancer. Today, November 30th, marks the end of this year's Movember crusade and we are proud to announce that we've raised a whopping £285 so far! 

There are still a few hours left until December though so it's not too late to get involved! Our Mospace page can be found below so please do us a favour and spare some cash. It's for a good cause after all.


With that good-hearted plug out of the way, we can get on with what's on everybody's minds at the moment. Of course, we're talking about Christmas. It's easily our favourite time of year. The cheery atmosphere, the decorations, the occasional bit of snow, the uncomfortably cramped high-streets... it's all a part of what makes winter so special and why we, at BIGDOG, look forward to the holidays all year.


So, what's your favourite part of Christmas? Is it the presents, seeing your family or the food? We want to know just what makes your holiday season so magical. Or, if you feel the opposite, tell us why you dislike Christmastime! 

Leave your responses on our site or tweet us! You can also write on our Facebook page, where you'll have the chance to be entered into our Apple gadgets prize draw! All opinions are welcome, but please try to keep it clean!

Lastly, we'll leave you with a bit of advice for getting a job this Christmas as it always helps to have a bigger prezzies budget! 

Well, that's it for our first blog post. Wasn't so bad was it? We'll be back sometime next week, and thanks for reading!
