    OH has just wiped out Masterchef from tonight and last night:o

    It's never the same on iplayer:o

    You ought to get Sky Plus HD. Threaten to leave and they should give you the box free. This is what happened to us.

    I rang them up about three months ago and asked for an upgrade to Sky Plus HD. (if you delete any programme, it stays on deleted for 7 days, and you can retrieve). They said, no can do.

    So about a month later, I phoned them and told them I wanted to leave. They soon came up with a free package. Worth a try?

    (cancel direct debit first, as this shows them you mean business. Only takes a minute to set up again, and they can see from their records you've cancelled)

    :eek::eek:! Thread has doubled in size since I left about two hours ago! The evening crew do talk...!!

    Give me a minute or so and I'm transferring my Avs M from the last thread onto this (details of where to find it will appear when I add a sig. later tonight). It won't be for use immediately, as it'll be the whole (expired) list which I'll start deleting items from over the next few minutes...

    Don't know how true it is but word on the aisles is that locally Sada have imposed a maximum reduction of 70% on whoopsies and Tesco are following suit. Scaremongering bilge merchants I hope:)

    Your lucky to get 50% off at ours.
