This is one of the very rare occasions when I regret not having a TV. ;-)

Hi Paul

You can download BBC programmes and then youn have up to a month in some cases to watch them..

Here is the link to the BBC iPlayer page http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cv2s3/

Not sure if this link will work, but if it does the bit being refered to starts sometime just after 35 mins, after J Kay has seen off Simon Cowells time round the test track.

Just a note

This is UK only so sorry you overseas chaps :-(

Is it just me or does Belgium magically become Duxford when they land. I'm sure that's the American Air Force Museum in the background when Clarkson is doing his "playing for time" bit. Hmm....

Yes, try the link from the Colonies and you get this:

"Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only, but all BBC iPlayer Radio programmes are available to you"

Besides objecting to taxes, the Colonists apparently also object to paying the license fee that everyone in the UK is supposed to pay. ;-)

Actually, as the BBC explains:

"Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer television programmes are only available to users to download or stream (Click to Play) in the UK. However, BBC Worldwide is working on an international version, which we will make available as soon as possible."

So it looks like at some future point in time, we will be able to get the best telly in the world also.

I felt guilty laughing but that was one of the funniest things I have seen in ages, he certainly found it funny, I guess theres not much else you can do in that situation.

James "The Stig" May was also fantastic as has been said, absolutly priceless!

All show why top gear is, to me anyway, the best motoring show on T.V at the moment.

I must admit that Sabine bird is fantastic ;-)

For those on this side of the pond, the clips are available on YouTube, for now. Sabine makes me laugh, BBC America is running the episode where she laps the Nurburgring in a van here in a week or so. Always one of my favourite clips.

Thanks,
Chris

Well blow me down, I never knew you could watch old TV programmes on t'interweb. Probably because I was never bothered about finding out: I'm a regular listen-again listener of the Radcliffe and Maconie Show, but thats because they are routinely excellent, whereas British TV is habitually shite.

Cheers Garry and (deltic)Bob !
