    I am sick of being a Brit abroad and being not allowed to watch content. I understand regarding the rights to premier Football as they are sold in the US.

    But interviews with Mark?

    Another Brit abroad here.. I share Rob's frustration but at least this site explains why the restriction is in place. Most don't do this courtesy :P Please remove restriction if possible after time.. as I check old content too.

    Really loved the Local Hero bit and the piece about the La Charette cinema. I have always admired Kenneth Branagh as an actor and director, and I think it was really good of him to do that for those lovely people. All those clips brought a tear to my actually. But then, I am a really soppy sod! Well done to all involved!

    Bascially agree with what's already been said. Absolutely loved the Local Hero feature and what a good sport Kenneth Branagh was turning up at La Charette.

    I love La Charette - it's also a remnant of a time where someone may have actual freedom to build their own cinema in a shed! i need to endeavor into planning permission to build la charette deux (sorry for any typos).
