I found this by accident on the BBC website. It won't be there for ever so if you are interested catch it soon assuming you can view it in your country. I'm not impressed by it but some may think it is quite good. Form your own opinions. link

yeah, that is amazing that the BBC does not want anyone else in the world seeing what they create. What a strange economic/political stance to take for a publicly funded national organization.

@daler240D Not only that UK residents have to have a TV licence even if they don't have a TV and only watch programs online.

It likely has more to do with each countries BBC affiliate allowing it. Here in the US BBC-Anerica is a for profit venture that is mostly owned by AMC (Discovery Channel sold it to them ). So they would have to pay broadcasting rights to BBC Worldwide to be able to broadcast/allow usage of the materials in the US . Why is it amazing or even strange ? it is a British entity funded in part by the British TV license . So they sell the overseas rights to raise money for further programming etc.. Pretty standard stuff. NPR here in the states does the same thing . And it is not everything – nor everywhere in the world .
