Thanks for that Jared, if I get a chance I might watch some of it tonight.

^^ Sean, I take it you are able to pick up BBC iPlayer over in Dublin? I naively thought that because it was online, everyone should be able to... but apparently they can't in the US.. :-//
I'm so technically unaware...

I'm not sure Jared, I haven't tried it for a long time, the last time I did try it from home I wasn't able to. I used to be able to use it in work when I worked in a British Bank, alas that is no longer the case. It won't hurt to give it a try.
I'm in work at the mo and I can't watch anything, access is very restricted.
