Title: TV Show for UK Players
Post by: nipper on June 01, 2010, 03:50:10 PM

If you live in the UK or have access to UK TV there's a cool looking TV show starting this Friday at 9pm on Channel 4. It's called 'Fighting the Red Baron' and puts 2 modern jet fighter pilots in WW1 aircraft to learn what the first combat pilots had to put up with and how they came up with and developed early combat tactics. Might be quite interesting.

Do Channel 4 have an equivalent of BBC's iPlayer?

Actually, yes they do. It's called 4oD. (just google Channel 4 on demand). Anybody with a computer should be able to watch this next week (unless there's international restrictions).

Anyone outside the UK is SOL if they want to watch it.  4oD is only available in Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
