BBC 4 is Great! (1 Viewer)

[Scientician 0.8]

I tuned in last night to see what was on. A rake of Bob Dylan documentaries. One about tryna track down his performance on a BBC televised play called The Madhouse of Castle Street, the other one I saw was about Woody Guthrie, Rubin Carter and Lenny Bruce. They were really interesting. It seems they went on really late but I had to go to bed. I think they were mainly old eps of Arena but It was great viewing. I've seen other wonderful stuff on it. I'll reiterate, BBC 4 is great.

Ghost Stories for Christmas week

Was going to start a new thread, but recycling is better for the environment.
Yes, Thank God for BBC4. It's an oasis of intelligent & interesting TV in a desert of lowest common denominator shit. I hear BBC 3 is supposed to be axed soon, no loss, just don't touch the mighty Beeb 4.

What should I be watching on there?

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Give anything a go. I've watched documentaries on things I wasn't that interested in and really enjoyed them.

Ok, so. I should be able to get around the geo block on the iPlayer.

A lot of that stuff is posted to YouTube afterward.
Go to youtube and search bbc4 documentary.

This unblocks BBC iplayer and its free.
