BBC
Worldwide is to offer around 10 TV series including Life on Mars
and Torchwood as paid downloads on
iTunes.
The deal with
Apple will see
the BBC's commercial arm offer programmes at £1.89 per episode and will allow
users to watch the shows on a PC or Mac, video-enabled iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
Other series to be made available via iTunes include Little
Britain, Spooks and Robin Hood.
"We want to give audiences a wide variety of options on how and where to view
their favourite BBC shows," said Simon Danker, director of digital media at BBC
Worldwide.
"With more people choosing to watch TV shows on their iPods, fans of series
such as The Mighty Boosh and The Catherine Tate Show can enjoy
those shows wherever they are."
Recently broadcast programmes that have been made available on BBC iPlayer
will also be available for purchase via the iTunes store.
The announcement follows similar deals with
YouTube
and
MySpace,
through which BBC Worldwide already offers clips of programming online.
