wherein I rant that the Beeb is not my Auntie...

You know... I kind of hate that I love so much of the stuff on the BBC ... because I hear my flisties talking about stuff I will have to wait AGES to see!

Being Human series two is just starting to be available on iTunes in conjunction with it airing on BBCAmerica. So I've pre-ordered all eight of those. I would rather not wait a week between getting them, but it will be like watching them on TV I guess :)

And I hear good things about this new Sherlock but god KNOWS when we might see that on this side of the Atlantic legally.

This is NOT an appeal for linkies. I know I've gotten my New Who series 5 on the DL... but as part of my day job is Video Copyright... I get a bit nervous about having that stuff around, even on my home computer.

It's just a vent about how I wish there was a way for the BBC to get this stuff to those of us overseas at more or less the same time as they can have it in the UK. Obviously the BBCA broadcast right get in the way, but for those of us w/o access to BBCA ...

It's a morning for frustrations around here... and this is just one of them.

My understanding is that Sherlock will be part of the Fall season of Masterpiece Theater on PBS. So, certainly a wait but it should be 2010 at least.

well that's something! I admit I haven't gone poking around for much info in an attempt to remain more or less unspoilered and to reduce the frustration about stuff I can't see yet :)
