Surprised for your part of England, the authorities haven't shut down all non-digital services by now, and your left with the choice: nothing or digital (thereby BBC 4)? Check the prices at Richer Sound for box-top box for digital, could be cheaper than you think ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

they're closing down the non-digital services in Summer 2011 around here, so I guess I've got 2 1/2 years to make up my mind whether to go digital or just do without a telly...
 I have to say Dick, its a closer call than you might imagine...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Ah, there was already a thread about the program: this must be the oldest one. Like I said in the other thread: it have to take a whole package of channels to get BBC4, which costs me about 6 euros a month and I can't just take it for one month.
Still, it looks really interesting. Glad there are still programs on national TV on prog. Last year I enjoyed the (English ?) program called Seven Ages Of Rock. I enjoyed the episode about progrock and artrock (Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Genesis) very much.
And once again: welcome back, Snow!

Thank you everyone for the welcome backsies. BIG HUG! !  In Radio Times, both these programmes are described as "New Series", so maybe its not a one off....unless of course the series explores different genres. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">
