AS Guru Biology Revision

Hi, has anyone ever watched AS Guru Biology on BBC2 (I think it's BBC2)?

I tape recorded the 2 programmes last year, one programme was on cells & genetics, & the other ecology, organs, & biological molecules.

I wonder if when it's on again that it has changed much from last years???

Does anyone know when it's on? I know that they usually repeat it not long before the exams just in case you missed it first time round. I know they are on early morning, I've never stayed up to watch them, I always tape instead, the programmes are helpful, but I always think that they could go into more detail.

P.S.

!!!!Happy Halloween Everybody!!!!

I've never actually seen it before but i'd imagine they start showing them nearer exam time. Were they on a month or two before the exams the last time you watched them?
