If you liked Fortran, then you should have tried PASCAL. Sure it needed
some extensions but it was simple and it was very hard to write bad code.
A very good contractor wrote an assembler/OS interface to Pascal for us
on a PDP 11 (about 200 lines of code). That allowed us to create a

If you have set gip to download the best quality then that's what it

The PID normally remains the same for all versions of the programme:

If you play it on iplayer on a device or smart tv, does it also stop
