Managed to watch it through a UK-based proxy. The rerun on Sunday night is on BBC HD, which is not available here.

Lovely show. Quite a few eyebrow raising issues but they've been mentioned before. What struck me most was the seatbacks they were using in that Thruster. Plain old pieces of foam, probably ripped out of a couch or something somewhere. No wonder the guy had a bad back.

Okay, now where can I learn to fly a weightshift microlight somewhere around here? It seems like an awful lot of fun to do.
