I gather there is a new three-part series about Scotland by Jonathan Meades starting on BBC4 over there tonight (your time.)
As his stuff is never shown in this phillistine state and rarely gets onto DVD I wonder if somebody could copy it in some form for us  :please:

I will of course pay any postage and/or other costs that may be incurred.

Cheers!

I should be able to sort this out for you to DVD. Meades is a legend and all his stuff is worth watching. Where is your 'philistine state'?

Orrrstrarrrlya (or at least that's how some of us here pronounce it.)

Thanks a lot anyway, once the series is over shoot me a PM and I'll supply an address and arrange to cover any costs - my sister is actually over there at the moment so she may be able to help out if I can get in touch with her.

I enjoyed this enormously, even if the odd stray comment stuck in my craw.

I'm new to Meades myself, wasn't too sure what to make of the Essex one - managed the first 14 mins before my face went like this :doubt:, but I think I'll try some more and see what happens.

You've got to take him with a good pinch of salt, but when he comes out with gems like "The Thomas hardy theme park for slow learners called Poundbury" it's nearly always worth the effort.
