Went to see the filming on Wednesday, Awesome!

Only 7 episodes in this series but it looks good.

On the show Sunday:

Ferrari FXX round the track
Lotus Evora
A race from London to Edin set in 1949.

I'm not going to say any more because it will spoil it but there is a big surprise halfway through which was brilliant.

:D

I've been on the list since the second series or somewhere about then.

I got mine through a guy in work who got them through someone he knows at the BBC. His wife couldn't make it so unfort I had to make up the numbers...

I owe him big time now.. :blush:

though it was funny, I was not really inspired by the race, I mean, why would I be interested in watching and old car race and old (design) train and an old bike? - all those things were before my time and I didn't get excited by them at all.

but the FXX - OMG that was the nuts! :woot:
Ferrari should put that out for the next GP

Its because to watch bbc tv you have to be a uk citizen. As we have to pay for a tv license. Which pays for the bbc's services so if they let people from other countrys watch it they would sort of be getting it for free.

Ash that's not why. To take Top Gear as an example the BBC will sell the programme abroad also. Once they do that they can't show it themselves in that country. Eg if fox bought it for the states they'd be a bit pissed if the BBC then made it available first on iplayer anyway!

Didn't think iplayer worked anywhere abroad at all at the mo (I know it doesn't in the states) but from posts on here it's worth giving it a whirl in Monaco as it looks like it can be got in some places!
