oh right -assume yr watching it on BBC then not BBC canada!

These days Top Gear is one of the few things worth watching on BBC Canada...and even then it is hard to remember which episode is the new one per week.

I'm sick and tired of the 'fix up a hotel/buy a house on the Costa del Crime/move out to the countryside assisted by a plummy hostess' shows that seem to be on that channel all the time. Bring back something like League of Gentlemen.

Hi, the L.O.G. team did do a series in the summer. From memory it was called Psychoville. Dawn French was in it too. Very weird but if like us you are a fan, you'll probably enjoy it. It only had 5 episodes.

I was using a site called My Private Network at first, only 5GBP a month and I could use Zattoo to watch TV live and access iPlayer and the others through it.

However after I discovered thebox.bz I canceled the subscription, everything I want is on there, TV Burp, Dr Who, Top Gear, etc. There's even some interesting old episodes of Panorama from the 80s before it became like Daily Mail TV :P
