BBC America on iTunes USA

[gkarris]

Just noticed today!

BBC is now giving us Americans "Torchwood" and "Robinhood" on iTunes!

Now, where's "Doctor Who"...

Good stuff! Be thankful you're not getting ITV on it 😀

 

[Sky Blue]

Yeah, they should put up Doctor Who... an hour after it's been broadcast on BBC1 😛

Licenced to Sci-fi rather than BBC America, that's where it is.

For each TV show Britain gives USA iTunes should add one more American tv show to the UK store, coz us brits have nothing to watch and we rely on you supersize-burger eating people for entertainment.

Here's what I watch:

Stargate SG-1, Canadian, Cancelled
Stargate Atlantis, Canadian
Battlestar Galactica, Canadian
Torchwood, UK
Dr. Who, UK
Robin Hood, UK
Life, US, Cancelled
Journeyman, US, Cancelled

I really don't know of any shows of ours you'd actually want to watch. American Idol?

The grass is ALWAYS greener... 😱

Plus the first series of Battlestar Galactica was part commissioned by Sky One, UK!!

nah, just the good shows 😛

Top Gear. Now.

They aren't legally allowed to show the UK version outside of Britain. In fact they aren't even allowed to sell it in the UK. It's to do with the music they use on the show, they only have UK broadcast rights to it. It's rather retarded because I have bought several tracks off iTunes (and even a CD or 2) after hearing it on Top Gear first, I know of others that have down similarly. So you would have thought they could have worked out a deal with however owns the rights to the music.

Although I guess they might put the crippled version on iTunes, which the rest of the world gets.
