The whole thing once when it was on telly, and the first ten minutes on Youtube. I hate torrents, so can't see it as much as I want, but pfffft.


I watch the America special most, I just love it, the old cars, the hilarious antics, and the fantabulous music really makes it too. The Winter oympics after that. Once the Arctic special is fully on the Youtube I'll start watching more. There's so much you miss on the first couple of viewings.

OK caught me.
Once normal and once HD (I forgot that the thing was on the BBC HD channel FCS) and once off the V+ box on HD. So total score is three.

2 times normal, 1 time HD.

Just came from our 40" LCD, watching the special. A slightly different experience then watching it in front of your PC...

Seen it 3 times in HD and once in SD, really didn't look anywhere near as good in SD - especially as I had to watch it in 4:3 :yuk:
