Thanks for that info James. I'm trying to work out how to set the video!
What's a matter with the BBC though? 10 on a Sunday morning is a ridiculous time to show a programme such as this.
Perhaps it's so that they can take it off after a few programmes because nobody is watching it! Oh but they've already tried that trick once before.

Most of us will be out on the lottie that time on a Sunday morning - how insensative.
I will have to master the DVD before then.

Thanks for the info.

Beryl.

That's what videos and DVDs were invented for I guess. I'm just grateful it's on at all! :D

I'm ok. It was such a stupid time last time it was on that I had to learn to set the video. I haven't forgotten how to do it! Must find out what I have done with the videos I had bought.

Send a complaint to the BBC at the following link

http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/

the more complaints the more chance of getting them to think about future programming!!

I agree with Chantal, everyone complained when the BBC took it off, now you want us to complain when they put it back on again! Just set the video and stop moaning so much. :P
Regards Tony.

Once again the BBC shows how out of touch they are with the viewer/listener. The latest I have noticed is that they have the new News studio with that broken-up panoramic background then they project the weather on some sort of board where it is unreadable instead of sending us the whole-screen image. We still get the London morning regional news in West Midlands on our satellite morning broadcasts, no alternative on the 980's group. I've given up on Radio4 morning opening since they rehashed that. Another irritation is the newsflash stripe across news pages, nothing to do with the pictorial material. And so on.

Hi Tigger,
What has God got to do with Sky Plus? I thought it was Rupert Murdoch! They say you should not worship 'craven images' and that one is craven for sure!! :wink:
