If you have BBC world you should check out the Raid documentary, it starts this weekend arond the world so get onto it.

This is a seriously hardcore race, not like the pussy races you septics have <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

you will see some amazing footage from a lunatic chopper pilot...

Team Musto Australia in action at the raid

Macca,

Don't suppose you have any idea when it is on ?

I've searched using the programme search on the BBC search for both "Archipelago" and "Raid" and nothing comes up !

I found the viewing times here:
http://www.bbcworld.com/Pages/Programme.aspx?id=116

And I suppose everybody knows the event web site is www.archipelagoraid.com

I personally think this is the ultimate race, testing all sorts of skills.

Sorry Scooby, here in the UK we won't and can't get it, some bull about the Royal charter and its a commercial station and the BBC can't operate a commercial station in the UK <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Bugga, I wonder if I can get it via the BBC Iplayer ?

If you can, please share - I can't get it on the tv either.

BBC IPlayer T+C's say UK based persons only...

Sccoby.....Do share if you can will change to my old computer if thats the case.

I'm waiting for an email from the BBC to get a signon.

Freakin' tried to watch this tonight (Sat), but in the couple of hours before it aired BBC decided to put on a Diana thingy instead!!! Checked the timetable at 6 when I got home from match racing training and it was all on for 10:30, but last minute change to some Diana crap (sorry to all royalists, but sailing before royalty for me). So back to Liverpool v Derby. Only other times they are showing it are 5:30 in the morning which is really inconvenient, or 12:30 when I am sailing.

Sorry Macca, but tried to watch you and Gruntley, but circumstances out of my control.

JC

Still waiting.......

Can someone put it on youtube ? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

According to the schedule its showing in 20 minutes, I'll try to record it and put it up somewhere.

Oh, please do!

The program guide was wrong, its not showing till 23:30 <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
(thats wayyyyyyyyy past my bedtime, but i'll see what i can do <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

But it's saturday night, I am sure you are allowed to stay up a bit longer just this once <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (Or program the VCR to do it for you).

I'll send you a postcard from Norway if you fix it. Eh, you can not turn down that offer? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The good news is...I captured the video <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
The bad news is that I didnt capture the audio <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
(something to do with how my TV card is wired).

I will upload it to Youtube shortly.
(check my youtube page, it will be up there once its done uploading ).

Youtube deleted the video after I uploaded it (they must have seen it was a TV program).
I've put it on my home server for download instead.
(I'm sorry there's no audio, maybe its time i build a proper media center <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )
Link to the video...

Downloading at present.

How big is it ?

It's a little under 90MB, the original was 8GB so I guess thats not too bad.

Tony, just finished downloading, but no sound !
