Due to the popularity and subsequent internet distro of the new Dr. Who series the BBC has begun planning an internet simulcast of this and other popular BBC One and BBC Two shows.

Quote"A BBC spokesman said the corporation was aiming to simulcast a channel permanently but would restrict it to UK viewers only. "



I for one would really be happy if they extend this service to outside the UK, especially as they seem to be considering their most popular shows. Internet BBC simulcast of Dr. Who? Yes please!
