I have downloaded this, haven't watched it yet. Looking forward to it.

You of course know where the title comes from, right? The great Bonzos song that took the mick out of all those white boys......

It was a great program.

I wonder if there are UK based proxy servers that you could use to watch this sort of stuff Geir. I'll have a root around and see if there is a way around it.
