Thanks for the heads up, now watching

Thanks for that. Will watch it on catch up later.

I watched a programme a while ago which had scientists trying to locate Hannibal's camp sites by drilling down and finding concentrations of horse poo.They had some success and certainly identified some of his stop overs.Hard to imagine anyone else has taken thousands of men horses and elephants there.

ready

I watched the first couple, but I found it heavily staged and haven't caught it since.

Tried it last night and, yes, it's a bit laboured.

...apart from their cycling, ostensibly fully-laden, which does look remarkably sprightly!

 

[youngoldbloke]

Quite enjoy it.

We had a few issues streaming the Alan Partridge episode last night - it kept pausing. I tried to stream this program instead to try and ascertain if the issue was our connection, or the Partridge stream specifically. This program paused too.

OH "Just re-start the router - it must be us because I can't imagine many people want to watch these three herberts riding their bikes"

I think it might be one to watch on my own :-)
