Simpsons was made by scummy Fox not the BBC so wont be on there

Youll have access to every eastenders ever made though

However, the news said it would be "clips from" so are we just gonna get 30 second teasers? Id like to see them pull it off though. Preferably only to UK people since we pay for 95% of the BBC thru taxes.

The article didn't mention just clips - it gave the impression it would be whole programmes. I seriously can't wait - there are tons of old bbc programmes i'd love to see again, especially the ones that they never released on video.

Their bandwidth costs are going to be enourmous though..

BBC News on the TV said "clips" though

You can be guaranteed it will be some crappy RealPlayer stream though.
