Great!
Where can I sign up? There are several things I would love to watch again
(That no longer gets repeated/available to buy/download) from the 50's
onwards.
I wonder if the Beeb can do this in conjunction with the Television South
West Film and Television Archive?
Long live TSW!!!

The Broadcast article probably doesn't have much more info than that.
One thing to keep in mind is that opening up the archive may need a
Public Value Test, which would mean that after the trial we have to
close down the public-facing service while the BBC Trust evaluate the
proposal, which takes months -- in the same way that we ran the iMP as a
trial two or three years ago, and now have to wait for approval before
launching the-thing-that-may-one-day-soon-be-called BBC iPlayer.
The wheels turn slowly here, but they do turn!

Subject: [backstage] BBC to launch six-month trial of online archive
next year...?
Today's Lovelacemedia is reporting
The BBC is to launch a six-month trial of its online archive next year
by making 1,000 hours of content available on-demand to 20,000 test
participants. The Corporation's director of future media and technology
Ashley Highfield said of the move to eventually place over one million
hours of content on the internet: Our goal is to turn the BBC into an
open cultural and creative resource for the nation.
I got this link but unfortunately there's a subscription fee involved,
I'll see if I can find someone with one.
