I have compiled a list from the show notes of all the British Icons broadcast so far. The show notes are not complete however and some are missing.
If you would like to do me a favour if you ever go into the archives and listen to one of the Podcasts marked with a "?" then please post here and tell me who was the icon of the week (if any)
Also if I have made any errors you can let me know here.
Ta.

Episode 078 Russell Brand

Episode 080 Black Jacks & Fruit Salads Mike Harding
as with the list(s) from Forum Cat this is based on show notes alone and is therefore incomplete.
edit (27.10.2008 + 03.11.2008): British Icons from all episodes without mention in show notes have now been added to the list. However the show notes themselves may not be accurate all the time as they are generally a reminder for Will of what he plans to include within British Mac podcasts (as opposed to being a summary of what was actually included within the podcast).
further edits will be made as / when new icons are added due to additional episodes of British Mac (or for clarification re. icons in past episodes).

most of the gaps filled - although I suspect some of the listings in the show notes may not have been 100% accurate

A cobbled together list of British Mac lists now exists at: www.YetAnotherList.co.uk/britishmaclists/only the list of British Mac Icons is there at the moment, but eventually the featured applications from Desert Island Apps and featured widgets from Frankenwidget will also be listed out.

The icons don't seem to be there at the moment. The list webpage looks like a labour of love though. I doff my cap to you sir. Cat

I've just checked and they seem to be working ok on the computer I'm on at the moment (a PC using Firefox) - are they still broken? Works for me on a G5 iMac Tiger with both Opera and Firefox. However Safari is not playing nice at the moment.

just double-checked on my iBook G4..... seems to all be ok with Leopard and latest versions of Firefox, Opera, Safari and iCab.
Can you send me a message if it stays broken and tell me what doesn't work.
