Afterwards you can probably watch it online with the bbc iplayer. There's a little trick to fool the bbc website that you're British with some software so you can watch it outside the UK. I have digital tv and receive bbc4 so I'll tape it.

You could always use a proxy server

Read about that this morning and it sounds like it will be a good show. Guess it would require formatting change too? Wish PBS would pick-it-up for replay over here!

Ugh - what's a proxy server? Don't tell me, my head already hurts thinking about it. Just have to watch it in pieces on You Tube...

I'm torn because I love George Formby and Frank Skinner is obviously a real fan, but there's just something I don't like about that guy!
Maybe the show will persuade me otherwise.

I on the other hand am not a George Formby fan, but I like Frank Skinner.
I watched it. Really nice documentary with a very enthusiastic Frank Skinner. I didn't really know Formby so to me it was a nice introduction!

Watched it tonight, was great. Must admit I warmed to Frank a bit, he's clearly a real fan.
The bit with Steven Sproat was 100% of awesome!
