jse Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 We get some really neat BBC stuff on this side of the pond, although it takes some time to swim over and is usually only run on our Public TV stations. My wife and I have recently become addicted to "MI-5", which I understand ran some time ago "over there". Since the lead time can be substancial, my question is: what good programs on the air now do you think I should be on the lookout for in the future?

bigfoot Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Have a look at www.bbc.co.uk Most stuff can now be watched online via BBC I-Player but I'm not sure if it works oversees yet. When I last tried from the states it didn't but I heard that was changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Basically the Iplayer won't let you watch the "new" series od "Spooks" (airing now in the UK) because you have a US Proxy address. If you can find a UK Proxy that is a way around the problem. Obviously "Torchwood" went down very well in the US as well as the UK. "Primeval" is also popular. New stuff could include "Paradox" coming soon on the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep watch for these programs now. I'm always looking for something with a plot as the reality shows (oxymoronic to the extreme) here are terminal boredom, but cheap to produce so the profits are high and they fill up schedules. We like "Spooks" (or "MI-5" as it's known here) as it keeps our attention every minute and is not predictable in outcome, kinda like our lives in general....... Jon.
