Does anyone know whether "Men In White" will be repeated on any of Channel 4's sister channels? (I know Scrapheap Challenge appears occasionally.)

The presenting team worked well together, and the their enthusiasm for the science, engineering, and occasional pain-causing, made it very watchable.

My only concern was that the format is very dependent upon the challenges, and there's always the worry that they'd run out of interesting things to do. ("Engineering... running out of challenges? HERESY!")

Hopefully it managed to build up enough momentum in its short run to have a second series, it deserves one.

I really hope they either repeat it or bring it out on DVD as I missed episode 1.

That was a brilliant episode - it's the one I most want to see again! (They invented scares for a haunted house.)

I suppose I should really be saying it's rubbish so that you don't feel annoyed that you missed it... but I can't lie, I think it was the best!

It is repeted at the moment at 5am on C4

No you can't! Not if you use a Mac -- rat-bags!

true

however I'm afraid it's an an industry-wide issue caused because the accepted Digital Rights Management (DRM) system used to protect online video content, which is required by our content owners, is not compatible with Apple Mac hardware and software. The closed DRM system used by Apple is not currently available for licence by third parties and there is no other Mac-compatible DRM solution which meets the protection requirements of content owners.

Unfortunately, we are therefore unable to offer 4oD content to Mac users at this stage.

many apologies to all Mac users

Thanks for the explanation, C4ED. That all sounds perfectly reasonable. Tragic, but reasonable.

Tragic is not doing series 2
