I tried to tune in on my TV for it but God knows why I was not able to select the correct channel. there are too many rubbish channels nowadays and I had to go through all of them and by the time I am on the right channel the program is over. :D

i think the whole thing was covered by the national geographic channel, they had a re run last night, so sure you guys over the pond will be able to get it all.

I'm still waiting for the flying cars they predicted would be around by now!
