I'm told there has been a "Worldwide" version made (with subtitles? !) that should be coming to your shores in HD glory at some point... it is REALLY worth watching in HD. In the meantime, I hope whoever put that episode up on You-tube does the 2nd one as quickly, else those with IP maskers will be able to watch episode 2 from early Monday I'd guess.
Am told it's a lot more about the racing... hopefully I'll be allowed to smile in this episode and they'll acknowledge the fact we're sponsored instead of making me out to be some millionaire banker that bought my way in (to my own idea/project/dream)... you'll be amazed by the vitriol and scorn poured on me because they used the words "Swiss" and "Banker" in the intro... there are a lot of sad people out there on the UK forums.
Anyway... all publicity etc... over 3 million people are reckoned to have watched it so far...
And it's great to get that Salt buzz in dark and dreary January!
Cheers

Rick, those of us that know you realize you are the real deal and have worked hard to make the Flower faster and faster. Now, about my secret Swiss Bank account, I forgot my pin #, can you call me later? I am busy winterizing my yacht right now ! :-D :cheers: :roll:

Did this ever (or will) show on BBC cable feed to US?  My kids are hooked on BBC programming, it's about 90% of what they watch on TV.  Sad to say, the Brits do TV better than Americans do now.  They even got me hooked on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Who.

The BBC Sherlock Holmes series was excellent. They did not skimp on production and the quality of the acting, direction, screenwriting, and cinematography was superb. It is also now approaching 20 years old. Not all BBC programming is this stellar; there is a lot of crap mixed in with the gems.

Most US commercial TV has, unfortunately, sunk to the intellectual level of twelve year olds-- and ignorant 12 year olds at that.

Actually Dan is telling us sometimes we drive him to drink something stronger than beer....
Although I think it is a good idea to have a link on every page... then the late comers don't have to go so far back   :roll: :-D

I finished watching it this morning loved it, sooooooooper Britness all over, loved the kitchen shot of the wife in the kitchen( after the seventies shot of he and the missus as rockers) with the Bovril and the HP sauce on the shelf....

The more I watch docos on the salt the more I realise how fine the balance is, it HAS to be made by an outsider yet informed by insiders, if not the general public just can't tell what's going on.


Nice one Rick and co, waiting for the next ..
