TV/Tech help redux

re this entry, do any of you have Sky TV, a DVD recorder and the willingness to record a documentary for me?

It'll take my mind off my property-sale woes ...

Um... The History Channel (which is not Sky History) is showing an hour of something about pirates with Vic Reeves at 5pm this Sunday - is that what you mean? If so, anyone with ntl/virgin should be able to tape it for you (we, unfortunately, do not have a DVD recorder!)

That sounds as though it could be the same thing, yes, put through a local newspaper filter of 'look, relevant to article'.

*quick look at original email*

"Vic Reeves is presenting a programme on Sky History Channel about William Dampier and it is due to be shown on Sunday, 25 November at 5.30pm."

No wonder I'm confused! Thanks for clarification: that may well make life easier ...

Well, I've actually seen the show in question - there's a whole series of 1/2 hour programmes about different pirates. As such, William Dampier will get a whole 1/2 hour show to himself; however, I would say the shows in general are a little simplistic, more aimed at kids, so don't get your hopes up about any insightful commentary...

Seems likely that if the Radiotimes listing shows pirates from 5-6pm there'll be another episode at 5 before the WD one at 5.30.
