BBC Creative Archive
It's now possible to download content from the BBC Creative Archive (see Slashdot for the story). Unfortunately when I registered, I was told they think I'm outside the UK.... despite being on a UK academic network at the time. I get the impression their geographic detection is a bit limited.
Curiously, if you click on the "You're wrong, I am in the UK" link and fill out the subsequent form, you're still able to download content. A nice touch is that it's available as Windows Media, Quicktime and MPEG-1.
Anyway, congrats to the BBC for doing the right thing with all that publicly-funded content. Time to break out iMovie!
