I'm watching this on BBC4 ... it's dead interesting but only 10% of it is going in because my mind's on other stuff.
Here’s the story of the material world in three parts, starting with how metals changed human life from the Bronze Age onwards. Around 3300 BC, people began making tools from copper, which makes metal-working almost as old as writing.

Professor Mark Miodownik begins his story in the Middle East, smoothly moving from the Negev desert to Ironbridge in Shropshire and the eras of iron and steel. He’s keen on travel technology, venturing from bridge-building and railways to aluminium and aircraft, culminating in Rolls-Royce aero engines. Along the way our guide tells a handful of human stories and explores cases of material failure and metal fatigue.

About this programme
1/3. In the first of three films telling the story of how mankind's knowledge of materials and their properties aided the development of civilisation, scientist Mark Miodownik charts how humans learned to use metals to their advantage. He explores early techniques for extracting copper from rocks, and explains how alloys such as steel rapidly expanded the range of tools, weapons and machines that mankind could create. He also analyses metals at an atomic level to reveal their more surprising properties, and discovers how crystals can be grown to survive in extreme environments - including the inside of a jet engine.

Cocaine Capital of the World -Peru
About to start on BBC3 Now

Must be a repeat . But not seen it so will set it to record
 
The bint doing the doc is way too annoying ... there's no way this documentary can be any good. impossible.
 
She's a lovely girl but hardly a hardnosed investigative journalist.
Seen other shows she has done in the past, very wishy washy.
 
When downloading (pirating) things, do you usually opt for the quicker-to-download TV rip eps (usually about 315Mb) or do you plunge for the HD rips (usually about 1.25Gb)

I will always opt for the higher quality, if available.
 
I dled True Blood, Hell on Wheels, Breaking Bad and Dexter today, all in the 300-500 range and there was fuck all wrong with em. Watched them on a decent 40" newish flatscreen telly

Normally, for fast action shows (TB) I'd get the larger rip, but I couldn't be arsed to wait today. It really made no difference either.

Also, tons of the HD 1-2gig rips have fucking APPAULING shite sound, and not enough space has been given to the sound. I've seen complaints about this on a number of AV and torrent forums too. I often have to have my volume cranked up into the late 30s to be able to hear the audio.
