BBC iPlayer

Friday, March 21st, 2008 | London Living with

Nothing beats a good few days off work to sit around and do nothing. We wanted to go away for the Easter weekend but that would have cost a small fortune as airlines and travel companies push up the prices as holidays are in demand. A small tip for anyone not living in the United Kingdom yet, do not travel on or just before a bank holiday (in other words, public holiday) as airports and roads are always busy and it would be a living nightmare to get anywhere.

Well to get back to my point, been enjoying the last two days at home, relaxing and doing whatever I please when I came across a nifty website from the BBC and their latest online gadget called BBC iPlayer. It is where you can watch shows on the internet through this player that was recently on television. You currently do not need a TV license to be able to watch some of the shows, which is brilliant. You get to watch the shows you want to watch when you want to watch it. So I enjoyed the afternoon with a bit of Torchwood and Top Gear. I am not sure if anyone else in the world is able to watch the shows but it is worth a try. I do have to warn you, it’ll eat your bandwidth, so watch out if you are on a monthly bandwidth cap.

Hopefully the weather will be brilliant tomorrow in London so I can head down to the park around the corner and fly the kite for an hour or so. Enjoy the rest of your Easter Weekend!
