The T.V. show "Beyond Boundaries" is airing tonight on Discovery Channel at 8pm Pacific time. It previously aired in the U.K. and was viewed by some of our 'proper' speaking folk earlier ( http://p072.ezboard.com/fadultswithbrac ... =184.topic ). Here's a link on the show it's self http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/tvradio/beyondboundaries/ and another on my local listing of it on yahoo.com http://tv.yahoo.com/tvpdb?d=tvp&id=1695 ... 0&.intl=us
