The BBC are supposed to have an online shop now for past shows that aren't on iPlayer .. but that show isn't available, which I find amusing-annoying considering you can get it on Amazon. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04xshqd http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04xshqd has some clips.

  I've just found it on the BBC download shop thingy: https://store.bbc.com/secrets-of-the-castle-with-ruth-peter-and-tom https://store.bbc.com/secrets-of-the-castle-with-ruth-peter-... Cheaper by half compared to buying the DVD.

    Cool. That price differentiation is really grating. I understand they can charge more for HD (38%), but when it's a supposed non-profit enterprise ...

        Sales like these are a huge revenue generator for the BBC, and help keep the licence fee down. As you say, it's already paid for by the British public, I see no reason to give it away overseas.

        But it's not just about overseas. I as a British citizen who has paid his (last) TV license have quite literally already paid for this content - yet to watch it outside of the iplayer window, I still need to buy it.

  I just found it on a torrent site. As a British citizen and license fee payer I don't have any moral issue with torrenting it. Interesting to think about, actually.

    Another poster pointed out that Yesterday are going to be rerunning it, meaning it could end up on UKTV play.

  If you're in the UK, Yesterday are about to start a re-run of the series. See http://yesterday.uktv.co.uk/shows/secrets-of-the-castle/ http://yesterday.uktv.co.uk/shows/secrets-of-the-castle/ and http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/c727b6/secrets-of-the-castle-with-ruth-peter-and-tom--02022017 http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/c727b6/secrets-of-t...

    Hmm, would that mean it will end up on UKTV play?
    - mhw 10y ago
      Yes, I imagine it would. Just need to wait until Thursday evening to find out for sure.
