Ooh. The Beeb are going to be the first broadcaster to send us broadbandy joy and beat the cappers to it. Apparently, the first episode of the new series of The Mighty Boosh (yeah, I know, but they try hard) will be available to download before it's broadcast.
That. Is. Cool.
Tom, have you had anything to do with this?
Sorry, realised that this probably doesn't make sense without the press release:
BBC Three will be the first UK channel to premiere its programmes on broadband when it streams the new series of hit comedy ‘The Mighty Boosh’ from July 19 - a week ahead of its transmission on July 26.
‘The Mighty Boosh’ is the first of a number of original and award-winning BBC Three comedies that will be premiered via broadband in the coming months. Audiences will be able to watch streamed programmes when they want on the BBC Three website [bbc.co.uk/bbcthree] and catch up if they’ve missed an episode. All episodes will be available to view for up to seven days after the final programme of the series transmits on BBC Three. |
