BBC opening up their archives

| 5 Comments

BBC is planning to open up their archive with a creative license of some sort. That is amazingly awesome news. Read the BBC announcement yourself and drool. Or read Danny O'Brien's Freeing the BBC. It's supposed to only be for people in the U.K., but it sounds like that's just going to be their distribution and the license will be open enough for others to redistribute.

O'Brien also made a posting trying to make us not too excited. I'm very excited, even if I won't get my Hitchhikers Guide fix right away.

Between BBC news, various NPR programs and Let's get lost I'm all set for my radio needs. Only trouble with the latter program is that it makes me not go to sleep until 3am thursday nights. Which is now. Good night.

Does anyone know where I can buy the Original BBC Radio Production of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy?

I looked on Amazon and Googled a bit...

Wow, you like the BBC and NPR hmmm you must be one of those.. um.. how do you say... MORONS right!?

Michael, all the media can't be fair and balanced.

Is there any chance of displaying the Horizon archive from April 1964, listing titles, similar to the Top of the Pops archive list, as I would like to see what has survived the mass wiping of your tapes.
