Syntax for grabbing all episodes of the new season of Celebrity Master Chef

[CJB]

Then there are VPN services - free v.v. paid for. If the Beeb offered
such then folks would surely pay to watch or listen from overseas.
Anther revenue stream it does not been to want to exploit.

But I would opine one demand would be for archival recordings audio
(sorry 'sounds') and video. Once there was a huge (and expensive)
project to put all archival recordings online. But after huge
expenditure the project was abandoned - at license fee-payers'
expense.

I would love to hear the programmes made by such pioneers as Charles
Parker, A.L.Lloyd, Ewan MacColl, Michael Mason, Charles Chilton, Alan
Lomax, and many others. But their works have all been consigned to the
'dusty archives' never to be heard again - that is if the archives
ever had them anyway.

At least Merlin is still available.

CJB.
