[Possibly OT] Is this of interest to list members

[Keith Doxey <ukha.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

At work I get a weekly email about TV and Radio programmes that might be of
interest because of there technical content.

I have included a listing of the current week as an example. If some think
this may be of interest to them then I would be happy to email a copy
either
direct to them (or to the list if it was felt the proper thing to do and
Mark agrees)

Channel 4 Sat 24th @ 23:45 looks interesting especially as many of us are
now (or trying to be) online 24/7

This weeks listing follows.....
