They used to show TOTP, back a few years ago. They also had Jools Holland, IIRC.

Currently I really like Father Ted, Cracker, The Kumars at No. 42, and also I saw a few episodes of My Hero. They have showed The Office a lot, but I have all the episodes on DVD anyways.

There are definitely some edgier shows on BBCA compared to what we have here, if you like that sort of thing.

I pray that one day I can get Top Gear on their lineup...

I remember they had Jools Holland cause I had a friend of mine, record a Super Furry Animals performance from the show.

Watch "Fifth Gear" on Speed. It has most of the old Top Gear presenters on it (except Jeremy Clarkson).

Has anyone heard when/if BBCA is going to release the show Strange, the "other" Richard Coyle show?
Thanks for any info!

I got that message also because my programming was set at "First Run Only". When I switched my setting to "First Runs and Repeats" the episodes turned up on my Tivo.
