Hi
Similar to Simon – I’ve followed the intructions but cn only seem to get Buzzcocks as a download – nothing else shows as avaiable to download! Any ideas?

It must be me being backwards as well as I can’t find any content to download apart from the buzzcocks link you provided.

Simon – You need to make sure that you’ve signed up to be an iPlayer Labs user at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/labs. Once you do that try downloading ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’ from here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00g33d7/Never_Mind_the_Buzzcocks_Series_22_Episode_11/
