Heads up, for Brits at least: History of the Guitar : UKTV.

This evening at 10.20 GMT on BBC1 TV. Alan Yentob on the History of the Guitar. Seems to be the second of three programmes. It's entitled "Out of the Frying Pan" and concerns the early evolution of the electric guitar. (Warns of strong language....???)

Iain, Good to hear from you. Hope all is well. Is this program series being streamed or can it be otherwise available to "non-resident Brits"? The Beeb do high quality stuff on such topics.

All the best,

Kay

The series is available on the BBC iplayer, but for UK residents only. If you are outside the UK you will have to wait for the promised international version or (hint) use a UK http proxy to use the player.

Hi Michael,
What kinda animal is a "UK http proxy"? Can you tell me, please, how to set this up in order to send this BBCiplayer stuff to Kay?

Iain.

Do a search for "uk http proxy" and you'll find many different explanations and sites.
