Jim - have you tried www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer? It's already there for a repeat.

Yes, I WAS the one who personally created bbc iplayer! And especially for GRJ's prog - the others are all just makeweights...

Take it for what it is - and you'll enjoy it!

(PS Love you loads too, of course, naturally, goes without saying, now and forever, where's my fiver for boosting your street cred?)
 
Someone on the Mobo forum said he'd found it on Virgin something - check the thread there.

I'm off to bed!

Bit green-eyed ain't it?

You may as well level that accusation at everyone on TV.

I'd just take the box to the tip. They'll be open today.
 
I side with the 'loved it' brigade. Of course I could start getting upset about the continuity, the falseness of some of it, the scripting of the scenes, but some of it couldn't have been scripted and a lot of it was just funny. Our whole family watched it and recognised some of the things that happen. I am sure that hitting his head getting out of the berth was not as scripted as some bits. He hit it too hard!

Enjoy the boat, and the occasional insights into Gryff's sailing. He might have more money than me, but he admits to having a relationship with his boat that a lot of people on these forum might recognise and admit to as well.

Even SWMBO thought that their crew recruiting criteria was funny. I am sorry that they only showed expensive boat prices (yet again). When will the media start getting the message that most people start sailing on the cost of less than a second car? A couple of thousand or more will get you afloat and this is never mentioned.

As I understand it iPlayer stuff is only available in the UK???? Or that's what the FAQ's imply....
 
Hugely enjoyable. I did suspect there was something odd about the passage making when it cut from them leaving the Swale to entering Dover Harbour without North Foreland in between, and then cut from them leaving Dover in a lumpy blow to entering Brighton Marina in a flat calm. Did they actually put back into port after each shot and let the passage crew take her around?

I found Dara and Rory much better behaved than they'd been on the Thames trip, and the tea-making was hilarious.

Still, it must have been crowded on there - the three of them, the cam crew and the sound man.

3/ the aircraft fly-by = MCA advertising

Don't see your problem here.

1 - The MCA Islander aircraft is airborne pretty much all the time over the CNIS area - any unidentified yacht would be likely to get buzzed as it enters or transits the seperation zone,

2 - MCA / HMCG are public services and the look behind the scenes at Dover will have interested a lot of people and may have educated a few. Any publicity that helps prevent rouge vessels and collisions is hardly black propoganda...
 
I really enjoyed seeing a bit of boaty content on prime time TV and SWMBO enjoyed/sympathised with the novice crew bit. I very much enjoyed it and am dissapointed that it's only two episodes in duration. Would be great to see a 'Coast' type program done by sea.
