Get with the times- these are now pretty standard! Throw together an old 
PC and stick a TV card in and install MythTV and, poof, a PVR! I agree 
iPlayer is a bit sucky, but its useful as a last resort.

If you really can't do any of the others there is always the repeats on 
BBC3, Sun 6th April, 8pm; Fri 11th April 8:30pm. (I assume you have 
Freeview? How could any die hard fan live without the other gubins they 
show on the ancillary channels? ;)

Actually I think there is. People will *ALWAYS* pirate it as there seems 
to be some cult following of it (for some reason), much like people always 
pirate various US TV programs like 24, Lost etc for the same reason.

In any case, it's upto you. I seem to have covered 9 different options for 
alternate viewing than watching it as it's aired on the beeb, but I guess 
if you'd prefer to put TV over CLUG meet that's your choice :-)

cheers,
