That sucks - I don't get that here. I see there is a BBC4 website. Do they show all their programs on their website?

Just had a look there is a BBC4 iplayer and i think they will show it after it has been shown.They have got a fantastic programme on it at the moment which i watched last week all about prog rock.

A lot of what they show on BBC4 are bits of clips from The Old Grey Whistle Test,the greatest music show to appear on tv. Check it out on You Tube.

Last time I tried to stream video on BBC, it was blocked to non-UK folk.

I just went on BBC4 website and tried to watch something and was blocked. There was a message that said they were aware of the international demand and were working on an international player. Maybe it will show up on youtube later.

Havent the BBC got a channel in the US,maybe they have iplayer for that ?

I searched a little to see if the BBC4 was on any of the satellite services or cable systems here but it seems to be a UK only channel. I do get a channel called BBC America which is a news channel (A British take on American news - it's pretty good and interesting) but that's the only BBC I get.

Anyway, it's Friday and I'm off work - "Get Me A Bucket, I'm Going to Throw Up."

They had two clips of Lou,one from the Old Grey Whistle Test 1984 Waiting for the Man and one from Jools Holland show Perfect Day,which was pretty good untill tony and his johnson started to sing and..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
