Right. Has everyone remembered to set their series link before they go to bed? Remember for the following four nights YOU can come home to the Buttonman. Please keep your trousers on at all times - I'll see!

And I was going to wear a kilt (though actually I'm not in iPlayer land either).

Having said that - I wonder if I can view it on work computers (during breaks, obviously).

Just showing off now...Good on yer BM!

Yes! It worked! (and so did the subtitles) Not knowing the format - does this mean that [spoiler]there's no point watching Friday's episode? I won't be able to watch tomorrow's episode as I have a prior engagement[/spoiler]

Greg M. · 25 July, 2018, 05:53:56 PM

Aaargh! Nail-biting stuff, thought you had it there.

Today's episode is available on iPlayer for 28 days. You can even download it and watch it offline.

Magnetica · 25 July, 2018, 07:07:31 PM

Sorry let's try that again. Tomorrow's episode will be available for 29 days and [spoiler] and those who don't make it to the final from the "play off"get to come back the next day.[/spoiler]

Magnetica is correct on all counts - there is no excuse not to watch the excitement. Good taste is not an excuse! I won't spoil anything but record Thursday and Friday's episodes as they may (do) both contain some solid B'man action.

Well done Steve(n) Awkward hugs not withstanding!

Greg M. · 26 July, 2018, 05:53:09 PM

Nae quick enough on the buzzer today!

Pete Wells · 26 July, 2018, 07:58:42 PM

Just watching it now - MARVEL comics!?! For shame!!!

Buttonman · 26 July, 2018, 09:03:04 PM

Big 2000ad chat tomorrow where I make a tit of myself in a literature round. Tune in at 5.15 for all the action!

If you have the time I would be interested to learn about the experience of being on one of these shows.
Like, did they film it all in one day? Do they pay your expenses, put you up in a hotel, that sort of thing.

Just curious.

And well done!

So what was the verdict on the Thursday episode? I'll have a go at watching in my lunch hour at work, but not sure if catch-up TV works here. Let's hope work isn't too bad at 17:15 tonight!
