It's a radio program - no video. I was able to listen and replied
when I found your other post. Thanks.

I was surprised that BBC let us into their site period. I've had
trouble following direct links to recipes posted in the other ng and
have been wondering if it's due to not having a UK IP.

Given that you were able to access it, if you log into

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/a-z

you can find all the other food progs, as well as anything else that takes
your fancy Have a look around. Radio 4 is my listening of choice and the
one I have on I always have on while I am cooking
Enjoy

Ophelia, I've always wanted to ask... do you watch movies that use
American accents with the subtitles turned on so you don't have to
replay a line to figure out what the heck they just said? I find
myself wanting to hit the rewind button and feeling frustrated because
I didn't understand a key word or two (said with an accent) when I'm
in the car listening to talk radio. I can understand heavy Chinese
and Spanish accents pretty well if I can see their faces when they're
speaking - but British, Aussie (which has more to do with the slang
than the accent) and French accents throw me for a loop.

I can understand you might need to do that with some UK stuff if it is
regional, although you won't find much of that on Radio4.

I couldn't understand Downton Abbey and with no captions, I just deleted all
of it.

That's funny. I have to rewind often when I watch shows like
Ripper Street or Luther, etc. Not so much Downton Abbey. And
I do have the sound up higher than usual, too.

Never needed to. I've never quite understood why so many Americans
say they have problems with foreign accents when you've got such a
wide range of accents and dialects at home.
