“The BBC’s commercial arm is expected to announce a deal to distribute shows via the iTunes video store [this] week,” Chris Williams reports for The Register.
“A TV industry source claims BBC Worldwide will on Tuesday detail plans to set up shop at Apple’s online media mall. Our source says BBC Worldwide’s digital media director Simon Danker has contacted the BBC’s third party production partners to inform them of the new distribution channel,” Williams reports.
“It’s unclear whether the BBC content will be available internationally,” Williams reports.

They’ve been available on TheBox.bz for months.
Top Gear and Dr Who on iTunes!!!!
Brilliant!
No, Honestly?
I’d pay for Fawlty Towers.
All right!!!! Torchwood!!!!
Top Gear, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Black Adder, Benny Hill, Monty Python, Coupling, The Catherine Tate Show, Little Britain….the list goes on and on.
BRILLIANT!!!!!!
I’d pay for Top Gear in HD flat out 😀
I have all of the Top Gear episodes on dvds. Took me forever and a day to get them via BT.
I still watch Top Gear when they come out on BBC America but they edit most the best parts like the news and any funny comments before and after they show their video clips.
Also, when they them on BBC America, the so-called “new episodes” are at 2 seasons behind. AARRGGGHHH!!!
Feels good to have the real thing tucked away in my dvd case.
“I’d pay for Fawlty Towers.”
I have paid for Farty Towels for years.
Mainly by using anecdotal quotes that caused recipients to reply with a blank stare with a hint of a “is he off his meds again” concern in their eyes….and DON”T mention the war!
Top Gear is one of the best shows on TV.
AbFab and Black Adder would be mint. Would be awesome to get old stuff from the 80s like The Young Ones or the Kenny Everett Show. Aaw, I forgot Brideshead.
Monty Python downloads would be great.
-No it wouldn’t
Yes, it would
-No it wouldn’t
Yes, it would
-Would not
Would so
-No
Look, I’m not going to argue
– This isn’t an argument…..
top gear, please…
I’m definitely not paying for them after having to fork over the license fee. They’d better be free
MI:5 or Spooks, please…over here in the states.
Little Britain!!!
About bloomin’ time! This suggestion has been made to the BCC over and over again.
There’s a whole world of revenue waiting to be tapped. But in the UK that won’t involve us paying less to the BBC for our TV licenses. The little shits are in charge.
I need to learn how to walk funny all over again.
How about Trailer Park Boys? I know it’s not a BBC production, but they did run it on BBC America for a while.
bottom and the goodies !
Top Gear!!!!!! The very best automobile related TV program ever in history. I can’t believe that Speed Channel hasn’t figured it out. Except that it would show up every single program on their station as true rubbish.
5th Gear was/is good too!!!
Just my opinion – but it is fact!
I’ve already got every Monty Python EVERYTHING on DVD and Fawlty Towers, too.
What else is there?
3 decades of Dr. Who? HAH.
Black Adder? Maybe.
Brit-coms? Spare me the agony.
Put any POS on PBS and just because the actors have British accents, it suddenly becomes “high art”.
I don’t think so. I call that Masterpiece Theatre Syndrome.
What about The Goon Show?
I’d pay for that!
Don’t forget Sticky Moments with Julian Clary and Fanny the Wonder Dog!
@Mr. Reeee
So, the only worthwhile shows that the British have to offer are Monty Python & Fawlty Towers?
I call that Myopic PBS Snob syndrome.
