Unfortunately I’m not a fan of scrapheap challenge. And yes, its channel 4, never BBC. However you can catch up on channel 4 shows at http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html I cant guarantee it works in america, but I’m guessing its your best shot.

Oh man I have had Tivo/Tivo like for about 15+ years, dont know what to do without a DVR. When I find myself in the car listening to live radio, sometimes I miss something said and I start to reach out to push the 30sec rewind button, Doh. Now I listen alot to podcasts instead of radio in the car, so I can rewind – Yea.

Red Dwarf baby, I had all 8 or more years on VHS at one time.

I spoke to Robert Llewellyn at DragonCon in Atlanta about Scrapheap Challenge. He said he loved doing the show, but he thought that 10 years of hosting was enough.

He also told my Wife and I that he has been asking the production company to release the shows on DVD. They claim that the demand is not high enough to make the DVD’s profitable. Perhaps they are only considering the more limited British market. Perhaps we Americans need to weigh in on it.

The people to write to are:
RDF Media USA, 1790 Broadway, #9, New York, NY 10019

Or the parent company:
RDF Media Group, The Gloucester Building , Kensington Village , Avonmore Road , London , W14 8RF

On the subject of DVRs, have you connected an external hard drive (ESATA, SATA II) to increase the capacity? I don’t know how I survived before I added external drives to both of my cable company DVRs.

I didn’t know there WERE new episodes! And I thought Robert Llewellyn had already left the show. And no clue episodes were out there on cable these days. Oh how happy this post makes me! I can’t wait to search the schedule tonight!

Just to defend myself on the 90210 thing – I did DVR it for the first two weeks to check it out since I was a fan of the original. But sadly, this new version is just not good (or maybe I’m just too old to think it’s good) :( So it has already been removed from the lineup.

But yes, I do in fact have a spreadsheet of all the fall shows that we can’t wait for including when they are on and which new HD channels we can watch them on. :)

Brilliant show (Scottish/British btw). There are dozen of episodes for it (including the international ones where we woop other countries in different engineering challenges).

You might be interested to know that although Robert Llewellyn is leaving the show its almost certian that he’ll be re-appearing on a certain scifi/comedy show.

Yep Red Dwarf, the best comedy show ever (well the 1st 5 seasons of it anyway), will return :)
