Well, as it happens, we'd recorded it for you.

you are ever so kind! I need something to reward myself when I finish damned review, though, and this'll do. Not that I would mind watching it in company with a glass of fizz.

Can't do tonight or tomorrow, but Wed afternoon would work for me.

Haven't watched it yet - but is iPlayer subject to overload? It may also be subject to payment soon according to reports on the radio this morning.
My neighbours have dispensed with TV entirely and just use iPlayer and its equivalents.

can't watch it - BBC iPlayer thinks I'm outside the UK.

Thanks, I think iPlayer was having a braino at the time. I've downloaded the standalone player and the programme now.
