Or other shows on BBC Entertainment? I've been looking for a good legal source to obtain shows like Eastenders, Holby City, Doctors and a few others, but it seems impossible unless I go the route of changing my Proxy, or downloading via torrents.

The Latter is easiest, but I can't remember exactly where we were (the wife and I) in the series before we left Europe. I can give a synopsis, but then I would have no idea as to what the episode # would be and such. Are there any fans of the show here who would have such information? It's really mostly for my wife, but I have to admit that I got hooked into some aspects of Eastenders (Sayed and Christian- the crack heads kid going to Juvi etc. ) Yeah, I know... I'm a guy. It's unnatural. Whaddevah! I'm allowed a few silly vices... Besides, it's not like a stupid American Soap Opera, or a silly Spanish Novella. At least not IMO.

Can you not get iPlayer over there? I don't know the ins and outs of iPlayer abroad so not sure if you can or not! P.S. torrent talk for tv shows won't be taken kindly here ;)

Unfortunately, the leeches of modern society (lawyers) have made sure that such content isn't viewable in my region of the world. iPlayer is great if you live in EU, however.

All I need to know at this point is what episode # to start from, if anyone is familiar with the series. I remember leaving off right when the nutty preacher locked his wife up in a basement (while leaving others to think that she was tossed in a lake). Anywhere around there would be fine...

Should anyone happen to know.
