"We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee.

You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at www.bbcworldwide.com. "

Thats pretty messed up :(

Especialy when reading the about page and you get this "WHO WE ARE

We exist to maximise the value of the BBC's assets for the benefit of the licence fee payer by creating, acquiring, developing and exploiting media content and brands around the world.

I for one welcome our new Pyschohistory overlords.
