Northern Wilderness

[Hobbes]

Hi chaps, just watched Ray Mears' Northern Wilderness - about the Hudson's Bay Company.
Much more history than you would normally see in his programs.
Well worth a look :-

Quite a good series so far.

I assume the BBC iPlayer is also watchable to people outside the UK?
The third episode covers the explorer Samuel Hearne.

Cheers, Chris
P.S. for any idiots like me - you can watch in full screen after pressing the
icon at the bottom right of the display.

I happened to notice that this classic episode of Top Gear was available on iPlayer. Could be annoying.

Just posted the links to see if they worked. I must say that I am pretty impressed with the BBC's output this week - I even got to see the Vikings lose leure:

Apply to US Congress to become the 51st State???

I guess emigrating to UK will solve the issue, but its too rainy for me up there...

Use Proxy IP software and choose a UK Proxy IP. Bingo!

Genius!

Most of the above links have now gone but a new one here for people that can get the BBC iPlayer or use Gray's proxy idea.
