Of course they are also in a much smaller electronic pond.....

Erm... it *is* repeated at the weekend if that helps. The BBC barely seems to mention this but it's how I've managed to record both the first two episodes after bouts of stupidity meant that I just missed them on the Wednesday broadcasts.
