I don't know if any of you ever download BBC programmes on desktops or laptops via the BBC iPlayer app for PC and Mac but that app is ceasing. That is not the same as the iPlayer mobile'tablet app which is continuing.

So, will I still be able to watch iPlayer on my laptop El?

Slim, watching programs through iPlayer isn't affected
What is affected is if you ever download programmes on to your laptop. By download I mean that the programme has been saved on your laptop hard drive for you to watch at a later date. At present in iPlayer for a programme, there's the normal red triangle to play the programme - that's not affected. If you look underneath the Play button, underneath the length, date and available period, there's another row which includes the Download option. It's that which will cease to be usable on desktops and laptops.

That's good to know El, Thanks

I don't use the download option, so it won't affect me

I thought that might be the case, Slim I have used the download option a few times but not for many years so, like you, it doesn't affect me.

I'be just had a glance at the auctioneer's catalogue. The red Dalek is described as from the Peter Cushing film "Dr Who and the Daleks" and the gold one from the Peter Cushing film "Daleks Invasion Earth AD 2150".
So it would appear that they were not from the tv series which might account for the prices

Night night  sleep well, sweet dreams Buddies
