I missed Jonathan Ross in Search of Steve Ditko

Last night, as part of BBC four's Comics Brittania, was a programme called Jonathan Ross in Search of Steve Ditko...

"Stan Lee is famous as the author of the Spider-Man stories, but the man who designed the characters, illustrated the comics and came up with many of the storylines, co-creator Steve Ditko, is virtually unheard of. In this documentary, Jonathan Ross, a lifelong fan of Ditko's work, hopes to tell his story."

Sounds, good. Never fear that I forgot and watched Michael Palin in Albania, that's what the BBC iPlayer is for. Except that it's not on the iPlayer. I can only assume it's because there's a repeat on Thursday 20 September 12.30am-1.30am (what a stupid time). At least, I hope so. So far my experience of the iPlayer has not been good. Bet it's on bittorrent somewhere.
