Re: Sea City Maritime Merseyside.
Sea Cities is a series of programs on BBC.
Here is the one on the Tyne.
Know quite a few of the people in the program especially the bit with Tommy Proctor and his rowing race on the Tyne
I know that outside of the U.K. you cannot watch BBC Iplayer as it recognises your internet providers address as being non U.K. and due copyright, refuses to allow you to view it. Possibly if someone uploads the program to UTube it could be viewed outside of the U.K.
I know there are programs you can download that provides you with a U.K. IP address so you can watch the likes of BBC Iplayer. Have not got the foggiest idea how they work or the cost of them.
BBC iPlayer - Sea City - Changing Tyne
Supposedly this will show you how to watch BBC Iplayer abroad, using UTUBE, I think.

Charlie, John in OZ.
Thanks for that, have not heard if Des in Canada has been able to view it. I will upload the Liverpool and Hull episodes in the near future (if I can remember how I did the Tyne on, LOL)
