So having arrived home, sorted laundry, done the shopping and fixed the wardrobe, I settled down to watch some TV with my feet up. After one episode of Man vs. Food I deemed there to be nothing else worth watching, so booted up the BBC iPlayer.

How did we survive without it? I’ve been able to catch up, in HD, with The Thick of It & Merlin from the comfort of my sofa on the big screen.

Licence fee a go go.
