"Airshow: An original Canadian series produced exclusively for Discovery, “Airshow” is the uniquely-told story of courage and danger in a world fueled by a volatile mix of skill, bravado, and science. Using the latest camera technology to take viewers on an unforgettable ride, the series showcases these incredible personalities driven to follow their dreams in pursuit of one of the most dangerous part-time professions on the planet. It follows the lives of pilots, performers, producers, and technicians through an airshow season, as they face breakdowns, bad weather, and each other’s egos, leaving viewers sure to ask themselves how this can be a job people are dying to do."

Look Ma no strings (or puppets either)

We now know what happened to One Direction after the split ;)

Season 1, Episode 1 - “Ring of Fire Part 1″
The team respond when a seaquake strikes trapping a research team under the sea in their lab but the quake was artificial.

Season 1, Episode 2 - “Ring of Fire Part 2″
As the team continue their quest to save the researched, Lady Penelope is on the trail of their adversary.

Not sure if Go is doing a double or not.

Tom,

ITV (UK) showed both Ep1&2 back to back (1 hr slot) over the last weekend. I expect GO will do the same.

Not sure what will happen in the future. Each Ep is 30mins.

Without commercials ep 1&2 is a total of 43mins, that leaves 17mins of commercials over an hour.

In any case, seen it ;)

Terror in the skies: AirAsia and beyond

The ITN Productions-made Terror in the Skies: AirAsia and Beyond details the events of December 28, 2014, when AirAsia flight 8501 and its 155 passengers and seven crew members were lost in a storm 40 minutes into their journey from Indonesia to Singapore. The special reveals “troubling connections” between the accident and 2009′s Air France disaster, and also explores technology designed to prevent such incidents from recurring. The doc will also feature computer-generated animation aimed at breaking down radar data from the final moments of the flight, while meteorologists will use weather data from the day of the accident to look at the effects of the storm on the Airbus A320. Also included in the doc are exclusive interviews with global experts, including legal representative for the victims’ families.

Title Choosing Sides

Series Number 14

A loud vibration and the smell of smoke warn the pilots of British Midland Flight 92 that they have an engine fire on board. The crew shuts down the engine and tries to land at a nearby airport, but their second engine fails before they can get safely on the ground. Just meters from the runway, the 737-400 slams into an embankment beside Britain's busy M1 motorway. It seems like a rare case of dual engine failure, but investigators soon learn that a tragic misunderstanding may be the real cause

One would have thought you knew about VPN services with all this Metadata collection about to begin :rolleyes:

Always try out Hola, it is a freemium but haven't had any issues with the free service so far. Though using VPNs to bypass is legal (in Australia), media reports about amendments to the copyright act which could see them being blocked (if that is the case, it's a backward step).

All working.

And all illegal as it is copyrighted material.

That would never work, people use VPN services for both personal and for work purposes. Unless you start inspecting packet content there is no way to determine if it's a UDP or TCP VPN service on a non standard port.

In fact, I'm using one now to bypass the library's silly restrictions on Internet ;)

Metadata collection is almost here. Mid August the system will need to be in place unless you have an exemption, with the official AG collection date of October 13th.
