I find myself feeling slightly resentful that I can get clips from excellent, licence-fee funded programming but not the shows themselves. The whole thing feels provisional and half-baked. I genuinely wonder what’s stopping the nation’s broadcaster from making the shows we pay for available to us (and to Johnny Foreigner for that matter) indefinitely.

I’m a big admirer of the scope and ambition of the corporation’s digital effort but it’s hard to read this as anything other than a failure of will somewhere up in the executive suite. And with Kangaroo‘s commercial offer and 30-day catchup (whatever that is) just over the horizon things are unlikely to get much simpler any time soon.

Anyway, in the meantime, here’s a nice four-minute clip from a January Horizon about gravity that I missed.

Update: it’s worse. It looks you can’t even embed this stuff (“embedding disabled by request”, it says) so you’ll have to nip over there to watch this one.
