“Unmissable” TV

I was prepared to be underwhelmed by the BBC iPlayer but after catching the last 5 minutes of “Top Gear: Polar Challenge” I decided it might be fun to watch the beginning. The quality of the flash video is surprisingly good—in fact, good enough for full screen on my 13″ macbook—although it is a shame that you can only watch programmes online.

I have often wondered why BBC content is not available (for sale) in iTunes, but since Apple seem to be about to announce time-limited offerings, making BBC iPlayer content available via iTunes would be a “killer app”, and provide a big sales driver for the much-maligned Apple TV.
