Timely reminder; Three Men in Another Boat:

Well yep, but when looking round the bénéteau and they said it was (£140,000?) he was saying about he'd spent just that on restoring Undina!

Then when they were given the figure Rory and Dara made it out to be 'Over 4 times what he'd spent on it so far" but surely it isn't worth £560,000!?! I must have misunderstood as usual /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Surpised we havent got a broker on here that could help out...

I didn't realise Josephine had been sold. It belonged to Tim Blackman, moored in the Medina in the summer, and lifted out at Attrills in Bembridge Harbour for a few weeks each winter. It is in super condition. Tim Blackman was, I believe, one of the founder members of the British Classic Yacht Club.
 
I enjoyed it- so did the rest of my family, we all knew it was cut/edited /staged for entertainment purposes but that didn't matter. What annoyed me is that I didn't realise that the beautiful boat moored on my pontoon a few feet away from my boat in the summer was her- I would have lurked trying to get on the TV! But I did see a few glimpses of my boat in the Brighton shots- must try the iBBC thing to see more.
 
I think if you go through a public proxy server located in the UK you might be able to view it.

I just took a quick look and http://www.prxy.co.uk/ has a box at the bottom where you can type the address.

Give it a try - when I tried it thought I was from the UK - but then I am ;o) If it doesn't work there are other public proxies that you could Google.

Cheers,
Paul
 
I enjoyed the programme and it was great to see shots of a beautiful yacht on telly. I have seen her up close and she is simply gorgeous. It brought home to SWMBO that we don't need a bigger boat to have more space, just a newer one.

I can't see that anyone on here is really so naive as to think it's not scripted, rehearsed and staged, in places at least, or that there wasn't a crew on board and a safety boat nearby. You could even see it in some of the shots and who do you think is doing the filming?!
 
A quote from Mrs S as she watched them trudge through the mud after inflating a rubber duck trying to breathe life into an outboard and get a wet arse en route the the pub

''anyone watching this will think were fecking mad''

she said it with a smile though /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

brilliant entertainment
 
Thinking aloud here, rather than giving advice you understand, but if you logged on via a proxy server based in the UK, you would have a UK IP address. If you do a google on public proxy servers you may be able to find a UK one (these change quite often, so you may have to repeat this process many times if you want to use iPlayer regularly, and being public servers, you don't know their intent, so make sure you have firewall and good antivirus etc, and only use if for downloading BBC content, not doing banking or anything that would give away personal information and make sure you don't use the same password for anything over the proxy you use elsewhere!!!!!!) Though in honesty, you'll probably struggle to find a public proxy in the UK with sufficient bandwdidth to support downloading or streaming from iPlayer.

If you know someone with a business in the UK, and their own server, who knows and trusts you, you could do the same with a proxy server or VPN (virtual private network) with limited network access (just need internet access from the network)

These are the two probably easiest to set up, though there are many other ways.

I thought he said that was what he'd spent on varnish!
 
Re: Did anyone notice the outboard?

It was an elderly and battered Mariner 2. In the words of Number One Son: "Look, Dad - he's got our outboard"! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Ooh mebbe, I was watching and working at the same time I'm afraid, so I wasn't paying full attention /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
