friends told me I could watch this on the internet...haven't found a spot that would let me yet. Just wondering.... is there a spot where the shows can be seen on the internet or do I have to subscribe to bbc canada?

I just googled it:
http://www.bbccanada.com/

but I didn't search the site. Hope this works for you!

Just checked it out and it has a couple of programmes on I miss from back home, Spooks, and the Inspector Lynley mysteries. I often watch BBC America but just wish it was anything like the BBC, still I get to hear English accents, lol.
I had downloaded a whole series I enjoyed when I was in the UK, watched one at Manchester airport but when I arrived in the US and had four hours to wait it wouldn't let me watch the rest as it could tell I was not in UK :(

Thanks for the link, looks like there's nothing available for internet free viewing for me.

oh i love Inspector Lynley shows.

If you have a facebook account, you can link up through there with lots of on-line viewing.
