Seems to only be on in the BBC South region, unfortunately. I've setup it up to record and could probably be persuaded to make a DVD up if others want to see it. (Probably doomed my recording to failure now, of course

Indeed - but sky reports 'Nap Attack' for all BBC 1 channels. I assume this is just a screwup somewhere and that you'll be able to find it on one of the sky channels tonight

The BBC locals are on different channels. Ch 101 is 'the' BBC1 but somewhere in the 5-6-700's are all the BBC locals which probably have different listings.

I'm aware of how it works - and as I said, the listings in the Sky planner for ALL the BBC 1 channels say 'Nap Attack' for the 10:35 regional opt-out slot. I'd guess that its wrong at least for the BBC South region. We'll find out at 10:35, I'm sure.

I've just looked on the web and on BBC.co.uk all the listings are also saying 'Nap Attack'.

I definately saw a trailer at lunchtime today that featured the Fastnet documentary tonight at 10.35 - maybe it is only in the southern region?

I'm sorry I can't help anyone as my video is in the repairers!

I'll have a go, but not the sharpest pencil in the box when it comes to videos and SWMBO is out until late.

Followed by a program about RNLI rescues.

If anyone is interested I videoed both the Fastnet and RNLI programmes. I'm happy to mail it to anyone who wants it (in the UK).

Both very good and moving programmes.

Didn't see the RNLI programme (early start today!) but I did watch the Fastnet programme and agree, it was moving and, for once with a programme about boats, the programme producers hadn't cocked it up, though you could tell that they had very limited archive footage and used some shots on several occasions.

Without being too analytical about it, I think the reason that it was so good was that they allowed the participants (crew, rescuers, photographers and officials) to do most of the talking, with the voiceover avoiding inane platitudes, and sticking to the facts.

Several shots of a beautiful yacht with the sail number 2468. Morning Cloud?
