The program is about some other completely unrelated bloke, and I think "Jackie" is the presenter? - the DeLorean bit is just about DMC California because they happen to be passing.

Try this though: http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/ - then type http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer into the URL box, or even copy and paste the iplay link from above. You'll probably find it doesn't work though, but one of the Google hits will - eventually! :lol:


Thanks Arran. Tried the daveproxy one quickly and it almost works. I can see the BBC site within the proxy site, but it won't play the program. Some tweaking time is required.

Neal, it's actually running pretty well at the moment. Through the sale of other cars, it was my DD for a few months which really helped it. The PO did 2000 miles in 10 years and I've done that number so far this year, so the old adage of actually driving your car is very true.

Still looks like sh1t, though. Need facias repainted and eyebrows waxed, er removed.

Of course the down side of all this driving is now all the engine seals are leaking.
