The BBC is starting a new service where people can download TV programmes they've missed.

Excellent stuff, I hope this sort of approach is taken on by more people.

Think of all those reels that are just rotting away in warehouses..

Yeah, I saw this a while ago.

I doubt they'll release everything onto the web. I'd love to download red dwarf but they're releasing them on DVD series by series.

The BBC are releasing a load of old stuff on DVD now. It's a Britcom nerd's heaven, so long as the pockets are deep enough.
