        Going to take this thread off on a slight tangent (as I dont have uk tellybox so cant watch it) but Prof Cox being ex D. Ream, reminded me of a very prominent civil rights lawyer who used to be in The Specials (having doubts now, definitely a Ska band of the day however) Courtney someone I think? Anyone know his name?

        Life's disappointments are so much harder to take if you don't know any swear words.

          Sorry Boble, doesn't ring any bells, The Specials were very politically active but I can't remember any names except Jerry Dammers & Terry Hall.
          Prof. Brian Cox however I cannot get enough of so will be recording the Jonathan Ross show. Despite the fact that he has a beautiful intelligent wife & gorgeous baby I can D-ream!

              This is really going to bug me now. I heard an interview with him on Simon Mayo a few years ago on Radio 5 one afternoon.
              Grrrr

                You can't watch the re-runs on BBC iplayer, but have you thought about getting a satellite dish and Freesat or old Sky receiver to watch UK TV out there? They aren't expensive and I'm sure most places can post to France?

                  When I first moved I had Sky etc, but I live in France, so watch French tv. Tis a choice I made, my French is good enough to watch telly and listen to the radio. The only thing I really miss is cricket, the French just dont get it. All other sports I can watch, the only real difference is the staggeringly biased commentary.
                  I know that most of the Brits in my area have Brit tv, so if there is something I desperately want to see I invite myself round, but tbh I rarely feel the need.


                  ETA: Having just reread that, it looks a bit bigheaded. When I say my French is good enough to watch telly and listen to the radio, I actually mean that I watch footy and rugby and dont really need to understand much, and the radio is a la musique. Simples.

                    I'm going to hang my head in shame - we started watching the 'Thin Blue Line' episode last night, and I fell asleep after 15 minutes - what a light-weight!!

                    N.B. it was a tiredness thing, not a boredom thing, coz I think he's fascinating.

                      That's what we have!

                      we do have a choice at the moment until our area goes digital- then we'll need something for the French TV

                        Sorry Bob, I've tried looking on Wikipedia for The Specials, The Beat & The Selecter, but can't find anything about a civil rights lawyer.

                          Just had a brainstorm, blokes name is Griffiths, pretty sure of it. Was in a band that were Coventry based, and is now a prominent QC, and I'm certain he is currently defending ex Liberian leader Charles Taylor.
                          Cant remember the band though. Curses, its tough being old sometimes.

                              I tend to be in bed not far after 9pm so I've recorded the lot and am going to have a Cox-fest one day and watch the lot in one go.
