Dear B3tards
This is a plea for help.

I have a very good friend doing a difficult and dangerous job in Afghanistan at the moment, and he appeared on a BBC news report last night to do an interview. He wants to be able to show his team and his family the clip, but he isn't allowed to view the iPlayer "in this region".

I presume that the BBC thinks Afghanis don't pay their TV licence!

If anyone is able to rip this iPlayer link from 16mins 00secs to 19mins 05 seconds, to a common video format (avi, mpeg etc), it will make a lot of people feel happy that they are being thought of at home. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011y33v/BBC_News_at_Ten_16_06_2011/

I thank the good people of B3ta in advance. My email address is rick01 at gmail dot com

Thanks again, good people, and apologies for the lack of LOLZ in this post.

EDIT: I am an idiot. I copied the wrong URL. This is the correct one now. *slaps head*

The "good people of B3ta"?
Never heard of them.

I would if I had a screenripper, I'm on a mac and there aren't any proper programs like FRAPS for Windows.

I'm sorry, I have no skills in this department. Good luck though.

Tell him to contact BFBS.
Or his unit's Information Officer.
Media handling and that sort of thing would have been explained to him during his arrivals brief and would also be comprehensively covered in his arrivals bumf too.
Is your friend some sort of thickie?

Aww, man I'm the thickie here.
Your mate's Ayman al-Zawahiri, isn't he?

Yes. He was one of the terrorists in the clip.
