Last Sundays show, the Stig did his lap in the Suzuki Unspellable. Just got around to watching, but I had set the video to change channels on the hour. Well the long and the short is, I can up about 1 minute short. What was the Stig's time please.

Thanks, I had tried to watch the show again online at the Top gear website, but all non UK ISP's are refused access.

Proxy is your friend. ;)

Find a UK proxy and put it into firefox (under the options), then you should be able to watch it.

Lets pretend that I have no clue about what you are talking about shall we. Now you can amaze me and others with your internet knowledge and we will wise fully make notes and nod at the correct moments whilst you steer me into watching Top Gear from Germany.

Phooey, I can't even get DSL where I live and 56k just won't cut it for watching video. I guess my only hope is that Discovery Channel will pick it up again.

Look on google for a "proxy list" (check your pm's)
In Firefox go to Tools>Options>General>Connection Settings
Then click manual proxy configuration.  
Type in the ip number (again see pm's) into http, then put 8080 into the port.
Click ok.

Then try top gear.  ;)

Good question, well presented, but I have no clue.
When I try to watch the video of last weeks show, I get a large window that tells me that I can't watch because I am not on a UK IP. I wish it was not so, but it is.

Same here, but all is right when I go to the main topgear.com website. It's just the BBC(bbc.co.uk/topgear.com) portion of the site that doesn't work. Actually only the episode video doesn't work.
As for the UK proxy settings. Don't enter 8080 for the port unless the port actually is 8080.
