If you own an iPad and live outside the UK, the iPlayer app is well worth donwloading. It's free anyway. If you want to watch all content, you will have to subscribe, but there are plenty of freebies. Including James' moon programme.
It looks to me from what iTunes is telling me that if you are over 17 years old and have an iPad, you can get the app for free. (At least in Australia).
However, I am not 17 and, more importantly, don't have an iPad, so I can't confirm. It will be good if it's true though.
The thing I love the most, though is that they say in the description; "Science & Nature - immerse yourself in inspiring series like David Attenborough's The Life of Birds and Walking with Dinosaurs and get up close and personal with Chimpanzee Diary and James May at the Edge of Space"
Ahhh! They USE to pay me to do that stuff. Fortunately I survived and retired from the USAF, but I do seriously miss the flying. Good thing I have my own plane!
Cabi - nice to see you still around, and hope you're enjoying your retirement.
You could always do what an RAF officer did in my area when he retired - he bought himself an obsolete training aircraft from the RAF and took his brother up for a joyride. Unfortunately, he accidentally ejected his brother over my local branch of Sainsbury's.
This is only a funny story because the brother - miraculously - walked away practically unscathed, having come to earth in some bushes beside the car park.
Even more miraculously, I think they're still speaking to each other.

Nice. I started the course to get my pilots license about 4 months before 9/11. But after that, they rammed so much red tape down your throat to continue the course that I let it lapse. I keep saying I'm going to go back and finish it one day....
