I will say that anyone tempted with one of those submersibles, not sure I'd bother. It had no ballast control, which for small spaces like this is essential, and was a bit of a nightmare to operate! Shame as otherwise it was a nice unit for a grand.

I think you just to need to subscribe to iplayer on the BBC, probably checks you have a TV licence but free otherwise.

That's right Jim. I was just pointing out that this excellent program can be accessed by non-licence fee payers.
