Because of rights issues, I suppose.

Basically, because it belongs to the BBC and is licenced. See:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_iPlayer

It is available for a fee in other places of the world eg.

I've only ever come across NH on Countdown and have got to quite like him.

The first half of the programme I found very boring. Had to switch off at half time and I only managed to catch the second half that I had recorded last night. I nearly didn't bother but it was more enjoyable than the first half although I guffawed loudly when they merged the two trees without any explanation of research/sources!

I've got last week's recorded - the actor from East Enders - don't know whether to bother though.

Definitely watch that one Rose. It's one of the best.

I'm still trying to catch up and just watched this episode which I found extremely interesting! I wasn't at all bored and didn't fall asleep once. It was refreshing to have a bit less emotion and sensible questions being asked.

The only really dodgy bit for me was the casual mapping together of those family trees in the Cricklade museum.

Only the Nitin Ganatra episode to go, but I won't get to see that before tonight's episode
