You can also watch the whole thing here online http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/gourmetfarm ... /Episodes/

Not as good quality as you would get on dvd, but quite watchable.

I don't think it's quota free though, I get the ABC iView quota free with my isp. The quality is pretty good and some good shows are hosted.

I just tried your link from work, have to wait till I get home to see it.

What? You can;t watch online tellie at work?

Oh well, at least there's still forums... :o)

MMmm, ABC is free for me to watch with my ISP, but SBS isn't. A half hour show streamed is generally just over 100MB, not too bad...

So true, at least while I'm in the office.

I'd like to see iiNet add SBS to the free quota.

He has a book out, too. It's something like $89.95 but I've been saving a couple of gift vouchers for Dymocks from Christmas so I just might use them ...

If anyone asks what I want I always say a book or CD voucher. Not going to set the world alight, but at least I get what I want :-)

Another good one is signing up for the Borders email. They send one out once a week and the voucher is sometimes quite good, sometimes not. Just be aware, they are usually only valid for 4-5 days. This week's is 40% off of a fiction book.

Is any one watching "Costa's Gardening Odysey" on SaBSa (SBS)

http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/costa/watch ... show/costa

I really like it, he has had aquaponics on twice now, built wicking beds and is right into permaculture.

Italian Food safari before costa is just tourture as I want to eat all the food they show.

Watched a little of Costas last night, I keep forgetting about it though.

Has anyone been watching "Cheese Slices" on the ABC, very interesting show, a 21 part series about different cheeses around Europe, I've only seen a couple but might have to try and buy the series..

We watch the cheese slices on iview (more convenient for us), we are still getting home from work when it is on tv. This is the new series, there are 4 series in all i think. We find the show interesting, but then i do make our own cream cheese & fetta.

Neville Passmore also did a short piece on AP on Delish (GWN) yesterday afternoon.

After having a look around I found it was on 7TWO last week in civilisation.

I also found the Vid at http://www.thegardengurus.tv/delish/video.php

I've been watching both shows, Costa's is my favourite though.
