Boy in the Dress video

[Betty]

On Dec. 26 in the UK on BBC1 there's a TV special, that's an adaptation of the book, The Boy in the Dress. 6:55pm UK time. I don't see it listed for the USA BBC channel (they'll be running Dr. Who marathons), but I'm sure if you check your underground internet video streams (1:55pm Eastern USA time), you'll see it. Remind me late Christmas night or early on the 26th, & I'll post who might be streaming it. Sometimes with these underground streams, you won't know who's streaming it until after the movie started.

If you're willing to wait 1-5 days, I'm sure it'll be on the torrents by then. Pirate proxy, Proxy Bay, Pirate.me, & other true PB torrent affiliates are down. There a copy of Proxy Bay running out of the Ukraine (a .UA domain), but I'm afraid of anything coming out of the Ukraine because the country is headquarters for the Russian Mobsters. A substitute for the PB torrent sites & their affiliates, is http://isohunt.to/ They even have a poor copy of the bay running there too at https://oldpiratebay.org/. Not as good as old PB but it works. There's also http://kickass.so/ They're not as good as they used to be, but if you can't find anything in one place, it's another place to try.

I use free uTorrent software from 2011 to download & save the torrents. Newer versions of uTorrent & bitTorrent software contain crapware, & garbage you don't need. So google for an older version. 2010-2012 versions seem to work fine, & are better than new versions. There's a bit of a learning curve to set up old or new versions right. Setting it up wrong can screw up, or slow down your downloads, or can get you arrested for illegally sharing copyrighted material you didn't even know you were sharing. Use PeerBlock too, to keep the nosy authorities out of your files.

Thanks Betty. In searching to see if I could find some more pix I came across this short film with a rather neat twist at the end.

LOL.

What a time we live in.

I used to have to crossdress in hiding. I was to be sent to a state detention home for wayward & crazy boys just for being suspected of being gay, even though I was well behaved with high grades at school. If you were gay or a crossdressing kid back then, you had to go away, be locked up, or treated for it, so I ran away underage.

But I wonder how much different I might be today if things were more tolerant about being gay or crossdressing like today. Would I have become a full-time crossdresser or get a sex change if I was encouraged?

I kinda like being a crossdressing guy, who likes to dress up in pretty or frilly, youthful things. Would I have been as involved with science, astronomy, electronics, technology, or even know how to rebuild my vehicle's engine had I been allowed to be more in touch with my feminine side? Back in those days, those were mostly guy things.

One the other hand, maybe I would have become a better painter, musician, dancer, or a ballerina, if I had been allowed to be gay or a crossdresser.

Hi,

The BBC website says the show will be available shortly after broadcast and that broadcast will be on Boxing day, Friday December 26th. As to whether that means we can all see it or if there's a charge, I can't say. But here's the link to check in on.

BBC never streams to visitors or ISPs from outside the UK. You'll get "not available" or a "forbidden" message. Because it's not on BBCA either (the Americas BBC feed), it won't be available on their site either.

You can visit BBC1 through a UK proxy in an effort to fool them, but the bandwidth lost through most of those will make the stream stutter, skip, or lock up. Besides, even the most trusted proxies are used by bad people & things, so they're always at risk of getting infected or infecting you. Some proxies are even set up by the media & law enforcement to catch people illegally using or sharing media & other suspicious activities. Proxies & clouds advertise the advantage of more privacy & security, but in reality, most of them put your privacy & security at more a risk.

Far better just to look for an underground stream feeding it as it's broadcast, or just get the torrent of it a day or more after it's broadcast. Most of the reputable & common underground streamers, & torrents are less risky than surfing most websites, including a few sissy & ABDL sites.

Beware of the 5 hour difference between UK time & eastern USA time if you want to catch a stream as it's broadcast in the UK... even more if you live further west. Also expect all reliable streams that don't stutter or drop out to be only around 240p (about the quality of VHS tape) to 360p (about the quality of a average S-VCD).

For those who live outside of the UK who want to catch the movie as it broadcasted, these are your best bets to to see it streaming. The video or a listing for it may not show up until a couple minutes after BBC1 started broadcasting the movie. It may not be listed or listed properly at all. You may have to click on a most likely link, or several "movies" or "TV" links to see if it's the one you wanted.

May not work with some FF & Pale Moon settings, runs fine with Chrome & Opera. Do not download & install their "player" or any weird, specialized software & player from any streaming or video site. You don't need any special, unique, software or player to view any safe video from any trusted site. The trusted ones stream in flashplayer, HTML5, or some other common streaming version of .flv or .mp4 files. So far, the only thing I can see the veetle player is for is to insert ads in the video. So decline the player install, or click "remind later" & click on the video to play it or any proper streaming site. If the video refuses to play without a sites "software" or "player", find another site.

Use your favorite ad-block browser settings or add-on, or you'll find free video sites too cluttered with ads, or your video constantly interrupted by annoying ads.

This is where most of the streamers from JustinTV moved to. Click on "Browse", then "Misc" to find the video if it's there. Click around because the listing may not be correct or obvious.

Another spot some of the JustinTV streamers have moved to. May not work with all FF & Pale Moon settings. Works fine in Chrome & Opera.

The listing may not be as stated. Click on stuff like "movies" or movie titles, & see if it's what you want, because the title or listing may be wrong, or the streamer may have decided to run something else.

This is for sports streams but if you click on a feed that is the channel you want, or is similar, you'll find they might be streaming the channel even when there is no sports running on the channel. This is a favorite for watching blacked out games not available in your area, but have picked up many UK & other TV shows on them too. I see BBC1 there often under another European channel name.

Another favorite of streaming content from TV stations or user's private collections.

They usually don't stream direct from TV stations, but do occasionally, or sometimes I can find stuff here just hours after it was broadcast. Once movies are available for pay-per-view, or on DVDs you can find many of them here.

Videos that are jittery, lock up, or drop out may be due to your ISP throttling down connections to media sites & services. Even though you pay for the bandwidth & speed, they want the source you connect to, to pay extra to send media to you. If they don't pay extra, they throttle down the connection to make it hard to use. It won't matter if you select a lower bandwidth stream, because they'll throttle that too if they don't pay extra ransom money to your ISP.

The problem with that, is there are thousands of ISPs in the world. Should a media site pay all of them extra to deliver the speed & bandwidth you're already paying them for? If you do a speed test, it looks like you're getting plenty, because they don't throttle speed tests, or for a minute or 2 of high speed internet when you first connect to a site.

To get around this problem, chrome will route some content through google isps, to eliminate the of the middleman throttling, but it may not prevent your own ISP from throttling it. If you use turbo boost in opera it will route you through opera proxies. That may fool some ISPs so they don't know you're getting content from a site that didn't pay their bandwidth & speed ransom money. Almost ALL ISPs are currently throttling your speed from media providers that don't pay them ransom money to some extent.

This is why I stay with the servers we currently have for Betty's. They pay the ransom fees to most of the most popular ISPs in the world so we don't get throttled down by your ISP. I don't approve, & it's costly, but I can't have our visitors turned down to dialup speeds even though they're paying for broadband.

If we didn't have large stories & pictures, it wouldn't be a problem. But would you want to wait for a minute or get a "try again" message every time you clicked on a story or gallery because your ISP is throttling us?

Didn't try all the links. I'm getting the show on http://www.atdhe24.net/live_streams/live/2013-jan-06/bbc-one-31.html with my Pale Moon browser, which is Firefox with all the useless resource hungry frills, & fluff removed, so it should work with other browsers too.

Sigh, expecting company soon, so won't be able to watch all of it. Sure hope the torrents have it later. Unfortunately it's not a popular topic for torrents.

Worked in chrome too. Did not work in Opera. In opera the site demanded I install java, update flash, & install some weird player. I've run fine for almost a year with no java in my computer, so have no need or wish to corrupt my machines with it now. Do not download or install specialized or weird players to play media, it's almost always malware. HTML5, Flash, & VLC player should play anything legitimate out there.

BTW don't confuse Java & javascript. They may sound the same but are 2 entirely different things. You need javascript to run most websites. Think of it as an extension of ordinary HTML. But there's only a few apps & sites that still need Java for anything. The last roadblock I had by not having Java on my machines was a few insignificant webcam feeds wouldn't work, that I can easily live without. Java is a big security hole.
