You're all very lucky! Spare a thought for those of us in other countries who may have to wait years to see this, and even then it'll be on pay TV/cable!

Very envious!

I DID manage to see the last series on cable, which has left me wanting more!

Enjoy!

hi ruskie
its a shame they dont put it online so you could download it
you would think that with  family history bieng one of the biggest uses of the internet the programme makers would have thought to cash in on this , perhaps a joint venture with ancestry
pay per view kind of thing

I just heard on the radio it's John Hurt this week and he is very disappointed because he always believed his great great or something grandmother was the illegitimate child of the Marquis of Sligo and he had irish blood.  Unfortunately this has been proved untrue.      Beware the family myth

You could try applying for the beta version of the BBC iPlayer:-

Haven't tried it myself, but would be interested to see how it goes. It says that there is no guarantee of joining and you must be in the UK, but it might be worth a go.

ooh, that looks interesting, thanks John. I will have a look.

Yes, gig, it would be great to be able to download it. I remember last series I asked my technical other half if he could find it out there in cyber land, but unfortunately not. In the past he's somehow been able to download current Dr Who, Extras plus various other UK TV series.

I will get him to check again tonight in case a downloadable WDYTYA has miraculously appeared somehow.

I know this show has had it's critics but I find it an extremely enjoyable hours TV viewing.

Ok  this may be a silly question  but are your dvd players the same as British ones??  If so I am happy to post you copies of the series as it runs, as I record each one on the dvd recorder hardrive  (well OK maybe I don't, but the very good OH does) I am happy to post you a copy if this helps
