2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

My daughter is a Strictly fan Matt. Luckily on BBC2 at the moment there is an excellent program on Station X that is helping restore my balance....

Is there a BBC TV Guide that directly links to the iPlayer but isn't www.bbc.co.uk/tv/guide?

Not sure how close your local is Fozz, but I'd be happy to get away with a couple of glasses of "Chateau Thames Embankment" a la Rumpole.

No one could possibly match the volume and quality [smiley=grin.gif] of American reality TV.

We have about 18 dancing shows, we have about 25 singing shows, and we have HONEY BOO BOO!

But the BBC is odd.

If my wife started to follow Honey Boo Boo, then without question it I would go to my gun cabinet, collect my 12 bore and let lose at the TV with both barrels...............
