Grrrrrrrrrrrrr why or why BBC can't you allow us to watch these vids. *hint* I'm sure someone on this board will upload the clip for us. *hint*  Ohhhhh I hope so. Still haven't seen the one of James accepting his award at the Chelsea.  |

God, I'm good at computers! ;D I have finally managed to install a British proxy server, so I managed to watch the clip. And iPlayer! Easy as pie: 1. Make a note of your IP address, if you don't know it, use a site like whatismyipaddress.com/2. Find a UK proxy IP address and port from a site like this (they do get updated regularly as proxy addresses don't usually last long) www.proxy4free.com/page1.html3. In Firefox, go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Settings. Check the box which says 'Manual Proxy Configuration and put in your proxy IP and port into the box underneath, HTTP proxy. Make sure you go back to your previous settings when you are done watching the things you wanted to see. DutchDiva: I PM'ed you instructions how to get there in the Dutch edition of Firefox. Differs slightly. And I absolutely love the clip!!! (Sorry, couldn't download it.) |

Thanks for the proxy help! That video looks awesome "...and then you're in top gear! Wait... wrong program!" Oh - apart from the bit where he's in the centrifuge and looks DEAD. 0_0 That actually freaked me a bit....  Rest of it though - can't wait! |

He looked like a really ancient Paul McCartney in that part. I love listening to him laughing on the vomit commit though. I want to see how the U2 flight goes when the show comes out.  |

Thanks for the proxy help! It's great, isn't it? It also allows you to watch all the restricted content on TopGear.com and YouTube. ;D |

Yeah the first time he was in a centrifuge is on youtube ("James Passes Out" - again another UK only YT  ) and someone has already mentioned he looks like Paul McCartney... Says a lot about him though, depending on what way you look at it. I can imagine the conversation might be like this: "Hey James, you sometimes look like Paul McCartney..." "Uh... thank you?" "... like when you've passed out in a centrifuge, and resemble him when he'll be possibly dead and/or really ancient..." "  " "...you look great the rest of the time though! *thumbs up*" |

I still appreciate it if someone figured out how to download the video. I can then put it on YouTube and spread the message that James is uber-cool. ;D

I'm trying too. Stooopid BBC The thing is when the video is downloaded it's in another format which can't be fiddled with. Linden be patient, some of us have other things to contend with so have only just seen this latest update. We get the message. |

It seems the video and the video player are interlinked and therefore you can't have one without the other. I've tried playing the video with a .swf player and it's not working. I suspect witchcraft at work I've looked at the code and it appears that it's not as easy as it looks. So unless it can be downloaded to realplayer outside of the UK, I can't see a way of viewing the footage unless it can be recorded on to a DVD outside of the internet and then shared that way. |
