if you have access to a UK based proxy server then everything is available on http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ for a week. The reason you need a UK based proxy is because they use IP filtering to only allow viewing of the iplayer from UK based computer networks. I was really frustrated when on a recent business trip I realised this 'feature' - thank goodness my Sky+ box can be programmed remotely.

Clarkson is in trouble for some jokes he made in the show in a segment about trucks. Lots of calls for him to be sacked for being offensive. The way things are going we'll only have middle of the road tosh on our screens for fear of hurting anyone's delicate sensibilities. Honestly I swear some people just like to be offended and outraged.

Who was offended? Bricklayers guild for driving through the wall? 
Or some holy man for having gear lever up in his ass? 
That's his style - he won't change, it can only be worse
Much more funny than TG Australia ...
