Quite possibly the greatest thing to happen to the British Broadcasting Corporation since the television. I find it immensely useful as I don't watch television everyday and often I like to busy myself with something constructive on my PC. Watching something can be more an annoyance than something to add to the Photoshopping or my latest Thief II fan mission. As such I find myself listening to the radio and when I do wish to watch something, I can at my leisure.
My only issue with the iPlayer is something that cannot be helped. The BBC cannot store everything they have ever produced on it and I long for the day when the technology improves and at any given time I can watch an old Doctor Who or an episode of Blakes 7. Perhaps even a news broadcast closest to the time of my birth. I'd love to watch that. What a handy resource that would be! Think of the educational capabilties it holds. Being able to watch a news report from as far back as the very first new the BBC ever broadcast! I look forward to the future when such things are so freely available.
Until then I'll just watch and listen to the things that are available.
