One of the few people from this USA series that I recognise!

Did anyone actually get this programme? In spite of it being advertised in the newspaper listing, what I got was a programme about ****** rugby. Not pleased.

Ann, I just checked my recording and it is the right programme, and it says it started recording at 23:23.

It is available on iPlayer:

Thanks Kate. iPlayer isn't an option for me as my broadband is too slow. Just checked the programme guide and there was definitely no WDYTYA USA for me last night but this programme about Premier League rugby. I can only assume it is a regional thing as I get BBC One Yorkshire (that is how it shows on the display) and, of course, rugby league is big in Yorkshire. I am so cross.

I really like Jim Parsons. but will have to watch it when I get home as I'm on a W.I. course brushing up my Publisher skills. So far I've enjoyed the American series better than the English one.

That was an interesting episode, though as with so many of them, I got very distracted wondering whether Jim would ever be able to raise his eyebrows at all!

I've just caught up on iplayer - a very interesting episode, and what a nice chap he is.

Having a look at this

I see that this series does indeed seem to have been abandoned for most northern regions of the BBC and also for Wales,Scotland and N. Ireland. Hard luck for those of us who can't catch up on iPlayer.
