Anyone know if this will be available from the BB website in the USA?
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

And thanks TMark for announcing this.

[Seeing they have quite a few of their programmes available as podcasts maybe there is a chance that they'll make this one available, too.]

It will be available from here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/ ... umentaries , but only for 7 days.

Thanks, TMark, for posting this! I hope I'll be able to hear it, too. :)

Yikes, I noticed it just in time. Silly Brits talking about a "Soak Road"...
So you've got an eye?
That don't impress me much
