TV Shows on iTunes

Well, who'd have thought it? Now you can download (admittedly only 4) TV shows via iTunes. It seems that the pressure of xvid ripped file sharing distributed shows has had an effect. Of course you can only download them in the US at the moment, and the UK price for videos (like the Pixar shorts) is £1.89. Astonishing. Why do we get ripped off so much in the UK? The US price is $1.99 so therefore we should pay £1.14. (The same goes for the music BTW, we pay $1.38 per song). It seems a bit steep for one episode of a TV show. Maybe the prices will come down?

But the real question is how long it takes before Battlestar Galactica is available for download? Or maybe more likely how long before the forward thinking BBC allow Doctor Who to be downloaded in the US? Come on SF shows, put your money where your storylines are.
