What's UKTV Play? Is it a paid service?

We have getflix but use iPlayer.

It's a bunch of free tv channels in the UK. They are supported by adverts and show old BBC and ITV stuff. Their top channel is 'Dave' which shows all the old episodes of Top Gear, Red Dwarf and QI etc.

https://www.uktv.co.uk

I have the UKTV play app on my fire stick, they have some good content and lots of box sets. They also have Android and iOS apps too. Not sure which other ones but it's a nice free channel.

Anyone know where to get the Bill? I know, there are tons of seasons but I'd really like from S08 or 06 on. Impossible to find.

If you can access it, one of the Freeview channels in the UK shows episodes quite often.

Sorry, I did mention at the start of the conversation that you’ll need dns settings from someone like Getflix or a vpn.

Thanks!

I'll Google torrents now........

I'm just an 'if it works that's fine' type of user. I worry that if I put my mind to the technicalities I would become a hacker.

I'm going to suggest that NZBs are not for everyone.

Once it's been setup properly, it works really well.

But that takes skill and trail and error.

Agreed. A friend asked me to set up a usenet arrangement for them. I pointed them to :

They got as far as the 2nd paragraph before giving up. They just carried on torrenting.

I was suggesting it's not likely for people who have to google torrents.

The freeview channel that shows old episodes of the Bill is Channel 20. Freeview have some sort of streaming service for viewing on demand, catch up, etc. https://www.freeview.co.uk/support/before...freeview-play/what-is-freeview-play.html should find it.

DVD's are available on Amazon UK. I understand that Amazon are re starting their service to SA. From the Wikipaedia entry for the Bill, I found a link to another Wiki entry that shows lots of sources including u tube. Amazon include at least one item for series 6.

Depending on where you live I could possibly bring back the odd DVD with me in September if Amazon can't deliver to you.

 

[Willie Trombone]

^^thanks. AFAIK Amazon only have like 3 seasons on DVD including the first which I have.

I'll check out freeview ta!

Bodyguard

"A contemporary thriller featuring the Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service. "

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7493974/

Just watched episode 1 and it looks like it could be the best UK series of it's kind since Spooks IMO. Episode 1 was riveting.
Two of six episodes up.
