Doctor Syn

[Baggins Wood]

Hi,

Apologies if its old news, but BBC iPlayer is currently hosting four episodes of The Further Adventures of Doctor Syn (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b008h931/The_Further_Adventures_of_Dr_Syn_Episode_1/ through to 4) with more to come.

It's the Eighteenth Century, and retired Pirate come Country Parson doubles as fiendish smuggler "The Scarecrow", with ex-seadog sexton as assistant and other friends in low places.

Cheers,

B.W.

"Episode 1 not available at this time."  I'll keep checking back!

Brilliant! Loved the books when I was a kid

Hi Schogun,

I think that the iPlayer only works in the UK area and outside the UK you have to use RealPlayer to hear the radio programmes.

Cheers, B.W.
