Leo was voicing a more widely held perception amongst those with a higher
than average level of technical knowledge. He thinks that much BBC content
is not available region1 and so do lots of others. The fact that he was
mistaken about Q1 is not really the point.
A search on Dads Army on amazon
Leo's minor gripe was that a show that he would love to watch (Stephen Fry's QI
- based on him viewing clips on youtube) wasn't available for him to buy on
region1 dvd, what he didn't mention (probably didn't know) was that it's not
available anywhere, its not released in the UK until middle of

Andy, if I had been the fool in charge of it, let me assure you by now
I would be taking legal action against your repeated public
accusations of corruption and misuse of public funds by individuals
within the BBC.

I am also against the use of WM DRM as a matter of principle, but I think we
all have to realise that the iPlayer trial is a closed, walled-garden trial,
and I fully expect the setup to change once a viable alternative is

Why does it annoy you? the BBC don't mind, if they did they would have

Basically what you are saying here is that these trail services (and yes I
know that) will all be rebranded iPlayer.
Given that the BBC keeps going from BBCi to bbc.co.uk and back again it is
a little difficult for people who wish to be consistant to aruge about a
service when things change.
