[dutchdiva]

BBC page I found the info. It says on the upcoming weeks that there is not time yet but when you link the link under it it says on the new page 8pm - 8:30 pm

Goodie. First, 3rd - Richard Hammond's Blast Lab (AM) and Total Wipeout (PM) presented by Rich and then three days later, 6th - Oz and James Drink To Britain. New shows from Rich and James. None from Jeremy.

[dutchdiva]

I do not know if we are also going to make different threads to discuss the episodes but here is the summary for the first epi:

Tuesday 06 January
8:00pm - 8:30pm
BBC2
Oz Clarke and James May travel through Britain and Ireland to discover the amazing array of drinks on offer. They start their journey on top of the White Cliffs and travel north to Yorkshire and Derbyshire to discover exactly what goes into a pint of beer. Oz tracks down the most northerly commercial vineyard in the country, and for the final part of the first leg of their trip they take to the rails, enjoying the beers in a string of real ale pubs located on station platforms.

Thanks, Nat for the info, I will gonna watch on the 6th. I hope James will be the boss over Oz!

[dutchdiva]

Saw promo on BBC 2 today !!!!!!!!!!!! Looking good.

[TheDaisy]

I won't be able to watch it, if it's on Tuesday evenings, cos I'll be at work then *bah*
iPlayer to the rescue then

[maureen]

I'm hoping we'll be home before 8 on Tuesdays, since that's when son has practice and games. Otherwise, I'm going to have to set the VCR and watch it after he goes to bed.

[Liz]

Nice to see that the Radio Times gave this a good review... feel sorry for Oz, but they basically said that James carries the show!

Any chance you could post a scan of the article? I'd like to read it! And did anyone manage to record the trailer? It looked awesome!

[tui]

Actually saw the trailer for it this evening.
I can't wait it looks so good ;D ;D

[ladyshaniique08]

I have just seen the trailer. Looks promising. I will watch
More James

[dutchdiva]

For episode two

Tuesday 13 January
8:00pm - 8:30pm
BBC2

Oz Clarke and James May travel through Britain and Ireland to discover the amazing array of drinks on offer. The duo travel on to Wigan, home to probably the smallest commercial brewery in the world. Oz gets down to the dirty business of beer making, while James concentrates on beer drinking. The thirsty pair also visit the home of Newcastle Brown Ale. Surrounded by so much beer, James is inspired to create his own, and challenges Oz to a home brewing competition, before a disastrous night out in Newcastle's Bigg Market.

Fantastic. ;D
More TG fix!

[maureen]

I'm pretty sure I'll be home of this one. I'll have to set my VCR for the one on the 6th though.

[lindenchase]

Several previews in today's newspapers, both generally good:

The Times

Glasgow Daily Record

[nobody]

If the agency say so i will be at work so will watch it on iplayer when i get back.

[PP]

Here you go: Oz and James preview

Sorry about the stuff at the start, don't know where it came from or how to edit it out

[gemmiejewel]

I saw the trailer on the TV in the office (I know posh innit) and proceeded to jump around the room like a child. Did not impress my colleague who is still pouting over the fact that James was higher in the Maxium poll than Robert Downey Iron Man! Hehehehe

[Deleted]

That was brilliant THank you PP

[lindenchase]

Yeah me! I managed to edit pp's upload, convert it to wmv and upload it on You Tube. ;D

[PP]

Excellent! Do you mind if I ask what software you used to edit with, please? It does that all the time and it really gets on my nerves.

I used Solveig Multimedia AVI Trimmer to edit. It's freeware that you can easily download online. And I used "Any Video Converter"
(that's what it's called) to convert it to wmv.

Thank you

Tonight's the night girlies! x

[Laura!™]

I can't wait for this. ;D
2 hours, 36 minutes to go!
