Enhanced Desktop Versions of all the Shows

This is a popular format of the show called Enhanced Desktop format - 960x540. This is ideal for people who want high resolution versions but may have older machines which can't cope with the demands of the HD version or perhaps you want to keep the download file sizes to a minimum. This resolution will not require the zooming and panning needed in the free version as it's clear enough to see all of the screen all of the time.
